Jeff Tan

Hello! I am a first-year CS PhD student at Stanford University, fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jiajun Wu in the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. Previously, I completed my MS in Robotics and undergrad in CS at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Deva Ramanan. My research is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2023-).

I am interested in 3D/4D computer vision and its intersection with robotics, physical simulation, and generative AI.

CRISP: Contact-guided Real2Sim from Monocular Video with Planar Scene Primitives
Zihan Wang*, Jiashun Wang*, Jeff Tan, Yiwen Zhao, Jessica Hodgins, Shubham Tulsiani Deva Ramanan
arXiv 2025
Website | arXiv | Github

We recover high-quality and simulatable scene geometry from Internet videos, for humanoid real-to-sim within complex terrains.

MonoFusion: Sparse-View 4D Reconstruction via Monocular Fusion
Zihan Wang, Jeff Tan, Tarasha Khurana, Neehar Peri, Deva Ramanan
ICCV 2025
Website | arXiv | Github

We reconstruct dynamic 4D human-centric scenes (e.g. playing the piano and bicycle repair) from sparse-view video.

DiffusionSfM: Predicting Structure and Motion via Ray Origin and Endpoint Diffusion
Qitao Zhao, Amy Lin, Jeff Tan, Jason Y. Zhang, Deva Ramanan, Shubham Tulsiani
CVPR 2025
Website | arXiv | Github

From a set of multi-view images, we learn a denoising diffusion model that outputs scene geometry and cameras in global frame.

DressRecon: Freeform 4D Human Reconstruction from Monocular Video
Jeff Tan, Donglai Xiang, Shubham Tulsiani, Deva Ramanan, Gengshan Yang
3DV 2025 (Oral)
Website | arXiv | Github

From a single monocular video, we reconstruct humans in loose clothing and interacting with objects, using a hierarchical deformation field and image-based priors.

Distilling Neural Fields for Real-Time Articulated Shape Reconstruction
Jeff Tan, Gengshan Yang, Deva Ramanan
CVPR 2023
Website | Paper | Github

We learn real-time feed-forward pose and shape predictors, by distilling knowledge from offline differentiable rendering optimizers.
