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, numerical optimization of problems with a geometric flavor, and applications of metric geometry and differential geometry. Kimmel is an author of two books, an editor of one, and an author of numerous articles
In 2003, he appeared in an interview to W National Broadcasting Company on the use of geometric approaches in three-dimensional face recognition.
