Xiyang Tan

I'm currently a visiting student at AIVC Lab of UCLA Department of Mathematics, working under the supervision of Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang. I obtained my BSc degree in June 2023 from School of Mathematical Sciences of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where I worked closely with Prof. Renjie Chen.

Research

My current research focuses on the interdisciplinary area of generative AI and physics-based simulation. To be more specific, I aim to enhance current image/video generative models with real-world physics knowledge, enabling the generation of more physically plausible contents.

PhysMotion is a novel framework that leverages principled physics-based simulations to guide intermediate 3D representations generated from a single image and input conditions (e.g., applied force and torque), producing high-quality, physically plausible video generation.

code and paper

We apply Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) algorithm on the Phillips spectrum on GPU to simulate ocean surface in real-time.

Miscellaneous

I'm a huge fan of sports, especially badminton. I was trained professionally as a badminton player since I was 8, and I was entitled national second-class badminton player back in high school. I won the third place in Men's Doubles at the Youth Badminton Tournament of Sichuan Province, and I won gold medal in BUCS badminton winter tournament as a member of LU Badminton men's first team.

I also enjoy other sports like volleyball, basketball and Formula 1. I was a starting setter at USTC volleyball team, and we won second place in University Volleyball Tournament of Anhui Province.
