Alex Bronstein (born May 28, 1980) is an Israeli computer scientist and serial technologist. He is a professor of Computer Science and Machine Learning at Technion, where he holds the Dan Broida Academic Chair and the Schmidt Chair in Artificial Intelligence. He is also a fellow of the IEEE for his contribution to 3D imaging and geometry processing.
6-680: Bronstein received a PhD in Computer Science in 2007, and co-authored the book Numerical Geometry of Non-rigid Shapes (with Ron Kimmel ). At Technion, he also won the Hershel Rich Technion innovation award. Prior to his PHD, in 2003, Bronstein appeared in a Reuters interview on the use of geometric approaches in three-dimensional face recognition . As a professor of computer science, Bronstein has authored over 100 journal, and has over 30 patents to his name. In addition to his academic activities, he co-founded and served as
12-534: 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 ),
18-476: 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
24-596: The Vice President of technology in the Silicon Valley start-up company Novafora, from 2005 to 2009. Bronstein was also a co-founder of the Israeli startup Invision, developing a coded-light 3D range sensor. The company was acquired by Intel in 2012 and has become the foundation of Intel RealSense technology. Bronstein served as Principal Engineer at Intel between 2012 and 2019, playing a leading role in
30-498: The development of RealSense. Bronstein also co-founded the Israeli startup Videocites, developing internet-scale B2B video analytics services. Ron Kimmel 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
36-817: 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
