He received the NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement in 1989 for his work on infrared array cameras and his research on the Galactic Center. Dr. Gezari has been a pioneer in the the development of several new fields of observational astronomy, including: # First application of speckle interferometry (measuring diffraction limited stellar diameters in images blurred by the Earth's atmosphere).
- First 350 ?m observations, and the study of cool star forming clouds.
- Pioneered the use of array detectors for infrared astronomical imaging, especially at thermal infrared wavelengths (5-25 ?m).
- Produced the only infrared astronomical catalog in the field of observational astronomy.
In addition, Dr. Gezari has developed several useful compendia of astronomical research resources.
