I am Xingguang (Kevin) Yan, a Ph.D. student at the GrUVi lab of SFU, supervised by Prof. Angel X. Chang. Previously, I obtained my master’s degree in the Visual Computing Center (VCC) at Shenzhen University under the supervision of Prof. Hui Huang. I also worked with Prof. Daniel Cohen-Or and Prof. Niloy J. Mitra.

My research is focused on how to efficiently represent, process, and generate structured 3D data, spanning the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning. Recent advances of deep unsupervised learning methods (such as diffusion models, autoregressive models and GANs) have unlocked remarkable success in generating text and images. I am interested in harnessing these techniques' potential to synthesize high-quality structured 3D objects and scenes, which also require special and more efficient 3D representations.
