Roy Dong is an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, affiliated with the Coordinated Science Laboratory. His research bridges Control Theory Economics Statistics Optimization to address challenges in cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things, focusing on data manipulation, privacy, and strategic behavior in interconnected systems. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley (2017) and dual B.S. degrees in Economics and Computer Engineering from Michigan State University (2010). At Illinois, he teaches courses ranging from Control Systems to Convex Optimization , with multiple teaching excellence awards. Roy's research explores Closed-loop effects of machine learning Causality in decision systems Incentive design for strategic agents Privacy-utility tradeoff optimization Human behavior modeling with applications in smart grids, transportation networks, and semi-autonomous vehicles. His work formulates privacy-preserving mechanisms as optimization problems, balancing data utility against user privacy in dynamic systems. Article trends show expertise in Game theory for strategic data sources Energy disaggregation techniques Nonlinear basis pursuit algorithms Privacy-aware control systems with a focus on cyber-physical systems and human-in-the-loop applications. Scientific recognition includes 'Teacher Ranked as Excellent' awards (ECE 120, ECE 486, ECE 515) Contributions to smartSDH building control and CPRL compressive sensing Roy leads the Privacy-aware Control Systems research group, collaborating with institutions like UC Berkeley and Michigan State University , and directs projects funded by grants including the New USDA NIFA grant for agricultural robot autonomy .
