Khiem Vuong

I'm a graduate student (MS in Robotics) at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University. I'm advised by Prof. Srinivasa Narasimhan (supported by NSF) as part of the Imaging Group at CMU.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science from University of Minnesota Twin Cities where I worked with Prof. Stergios Roumeliotis and Prof. Hyun Soo Park. I also spent an amazing summer at Enfusion Systems as a software engineering intern during my sophomore year.

  Research/Publications

I'm interested in computer vision, robotics, and machine learning. Most of my research is about geometry-based vision, consisting of 3D/4D reconstruction, perception, and visual scene understanding in general. Representative paper(s) are highlighted.
