Dongyoon Lee

Dongyoon Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on software engineering challenges in programming languages and security, with emphasis on regular expression analysis and empirical studies.

His research interests include:

• Software reliability through regex generalizability testing
• Developer decision-making in security-critical contexts
• Empirical measurement of programming language features across ecosystems
• Security implications of common coding patterns

His publication trends reveal strong focus on practical security vulnerabilities in developer tools, particularly analyzing regular expression implementations across multiple programming languages. The work combines empirical measurement with human factors analysis to identify systemic risks.

Lee actively contributes to the software engineering community through leadership roles in major conferences:

• LCTES 2025: Program Committee & Steering Committee
• LCTES 2023: Program Chair & Session Chair
• CGO 2022: Author of HECATE compiler optimization work
• ASE 2019: Two regex-related research papers

His advising and community engagement is demonstrated through consistent program committee service since 2016 across PLDI, LCTES, CC, CGO, and ASE conferences. He has chaired sessions on storage systems, scheduling, and techniques for specific domains, showing breadth in systems software research.
