Tin Hadzi Veljkovic

I’m a PhD student at the University of Amsterdam (AMLab / Bosch Delta Lab), advised by Jan-Willem van de Meent.

I work on generative models for materials, continuous representations, and representation learning for computational chemistry. I like building models and representations that stay grounded in physics, but are also usable in practice.

Selected work

Publications

  1. Crystalite: A Lightweight Transformer for Efficient Crystal Modeling

    Introduces a lightweight diffusion Transformer for crystal modeling, combining subatomic tokenization with geometry-aware attention biases to improve efficiency while reaching strong crystal structure prediction and generation results.

  2. CORDS: Continuous Representations of Discrete Structures

    Invertible mappings from variable-size sets to continuous density and feature fields, enabling models to operate in field space and decode exactly back to discrete objects.

  3. Dynamic Training Enhances Machine Learning Potentials for Long-Lasting Molecular Dynamics

    Refreshes ML interatomic potentials during long MD runs to preserve accuracy over extended simulations.

  4. Fast yet Safe: Early-Exiting with Risk Control

    Applies distribution-free risk control to early-exit neural nets so faster predictions still satisfy target error guarantees.
