(Kenny) Chee Kim, Gan | 顏子鈞


I am an incoming Ph.D student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). I currently serve as a research assistant at Academia Sinica, working with Dr. Jun-Cheng chen on topics related on Generative Video Processing/Restoration & World Model. I earned my B.S and M.S from National Taiwan Univeristy (NTU) in Electrical Engineering, and I was fortunate to worked with Prof. Jian-Jiun Ding on Image/Video Signal Processing.


Research Interests

My research interests span from low-level (image/video signal processing, computer vision) to high-level (computational imaging, generative AI) vision tasks.

Hobbies

I enjoy reading, coffee, hiking, basketball, watching animes when I am free.

Experiences

I gained valuable industry experiences at Novatek, MediaTek, and MobileDrive.

  • Novatek (full-time): R&D AI-based and handcraft-based image/video signal processing algorithms for camera SoC. Modules designed includes HDR, noise reduction, motion detection.
  • MediaTek (internship): Accelerate CNNs, working on codec standards like H.265/H.266 including deblocking filter.
  • Mobiledrive (internship): Integrate multi-threaded software architecture for ADAS services, including Bird-Eye-View 3D Object Detection and Tracking.
