Ron Kimmel (Hebrew: רון קימל, b. 1963) is a professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering (by courtesy) at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. He holds a D.Sc. degree in electrical engineering (1995) from the Technion, and was a post-doc at UC Berkeley and Berkeley Labs, and a visiting professor at Stanford University. He has worked in various areas of image and shape analysis in computer vision, image processing, and computer graphics. Kimmel's interest in recent years has been non-rigid shape processing and analysis, medical imaging, computational biometry, deep learning, numerical optimization of problems with a geometric flavor, and applications of metric and differential geometry. Kimmel is an author of two books, an editor of one, and an author of numerous articles. He is the founder of the Geometric Image Processing Lab [1], and a founder and advisor of several successful image processing and analysis companies.
Kimmel's contributions include the development of fast marching methods for triangulated manifolds (together with James Sethian), the geodesic active contours algorithm for image segmentation, a geometric framework for image filtering (named Beltrami flow after the Italian mathematician Eugenio Beltrami), and the Generalized Multidimensional Scaling (together with his students the Bronstein brothers) with which he was able to compute the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between surfaces. He is one of the founders of the field of deep learning based computational oncology/pathology together with his student Gil Shamai.
In 2003, he appeared in an interview to WNBC on the use of geometric approaches in three-dimensional face recognition.
In 2011, Intel acquired his cofounded company InVision.
For ten years he played a leading role in the research and development of Intel RealSense technologies, as a part time Intel senior academic research fellow.
In 2022 he cofounded Lumana.AI [2], where he serves as a chief scientific officer.
