Michael Bronstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael M. Bronstein (born May 28, 1980 ) is an Israeli computer scientist.

Bronstein received his doctorate in computer science in 2007 from the Technion with Ron Kimmel (Isometry-Invariant Surface Matching: Numerical Algorithms and Applications). In 2010 he became a professor at the University of Lugano and he has also been a professor at the University of Tel Aviv since 2016 .

He was visiting scholar at the Polytechnic in Milan, Stanford University, INRIA in Strasbourg, Technion, University of Verona, Harvard University and MIT. Since 2012 he has also been a senior engineer for conceptual computing at Intel . Before that, the startup company Invision, which he co-founded, was taken over by Intel. Intel used the technology in their Realsense 3D camera for computers.

Bronstein deals with computational methods in spectral and metric geometry with application to computer vision, pattern recognition, computer graphics, image processing and machine learning. Among other things, he and his brother are known for research into facial recognition.

He has a twin brother Alex M. Bronstein (Alexander Bronstein), who is also a computer scientist and is a professor at the Technion (until 2016 at Tel Aviv University).

In 2012 he received a Starting Grant and in 2016 a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council.

He is co-founder of the start-up Novafora (2004) which developed algorithms for video analysis, which were taken over under license from Turner Broadcast Systems, among others. He is also a co-founder of other startups.
