Hello, I'm Gunhee Kim. I will be an Intel/CMU summer fellow (aka Summer
Internship) at Intel
Pittsburgh from May to August 2008. My mentors at Intel are Rahul
Sukthankar and Shimin
Chen. I'm still coworking with my advisors at CMU, Martial
Hebert and Christos
Faloutsos.
I recently completed my Masters at The
Robotics Institute in the School
of Computer Science at Carnegie
Mellon University in May 2008. I was advised by Martial
Hebert. I also closely worked with Daniel
Huber for the GDRS
project. Another faculty member of my commitee was Christos
Faloutsos.
Before coming to CMU, I was a research scientist in Intelligent
Robotics Research Center at KIST
(the oldest national research Institute in Korea) for five years.
My research interests are computer vision, machine learning,
data mining, and robotics.
