Ron Kimmel is a researcher in the areas of computer vision, image processing and numerical geometry. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in 1995 and spent the post-doctoral years (1995-1998) at the University of California in Berkeley. In 2003-2004, he was a visiting professor at the Stanford University. Currently, he is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Technion.
Ron has authored over a hundred and twenty articles in
scientific journals and conferences and the book Numerical geometry of images. He is the member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Computer Vision and IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, and was the co-chair of the International Conference on Scale-Space Methods in Computer Vision in 2001 and
2005 and the SIAM Conference on Imaging in 2006.
Prof. Kimmel is the recipient of the Hershel Rich Technion Innovation Award (twice), the Taub Prize for Excellence in Research, the Genselr prize and the Alon Fellowship. He was a consultant to HP Labs, Net2Wireless (Jigami) research, and MediGuide.
Alex and Michael met Ron in 2002, taking his class on Numerical geometry of images when still undergraduate students. According to Michael's recollection, the first phrase Prof. Kimmel referred to him was "usually I throw such students out of the class", when his cellular phone accidentally rang during the lecture. Shortly afterwards, Alex and Michael became Ron's graduate students. Together, they have co-authored the book and the book Numerical geometry of images. and over twenty papers in leading journals and top-ranking conferences. Topics from the book were taught in graduate courses and tutorials all over the world. Besides academic activity, they were involved in several start-up companies as advisors and co-founders.
