Dr. Kerr is a graduate of:

• Washington and Lee University,
• Columbia University
• New York University

with degrees in:

• Liberal Arts
• Electrical Engineering
• Physics, with a specialty in the nonlinear optics of powerful lasers. 

He has taught at:

• the University of Costa Rica
• Azusa Pacific University in California
• California Institute of Technology
• the University of Sevilla (Spain).

His first professional work was a N. A. S. A. feasibility study of laser communication between the earth and a deep-space probe near Mars, at a distance of 100 million miles. 

N. A. S. A. awarded Dr. Kerr a prize for his design of a telescope adapted to receive optical communication from space probes near the outer planets (Mars, Saturn) or from beyond the solar system, as far as 1000 astronomical units away.  The telescope, 10 meters in diameter, will be one of the largest in the world. 

At present there is a N. A. S. A. space probe orbiting Mars with various scientific instruments, including a laser altimeter similar to one designed and recommended by Dr. Kerr.  The instruments will collect data in support of missions seeking evidence of extraterrestrial life.
