Time-Synchronized Control and Applications for Autonomous Systems

Dongyu Li earned B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Control Science and Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, in 2016 and 2020 respectively. He pursued a joint Ph.D. with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore, from 2017 to 2019, and worked as a research fellow with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore, until 2021. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor at Beihang University, China, focusing on networked system cooperation, adaptive systems, and spacecraft engineering. With over 50 published academic papers, he has held editorial and organizational roles in prestigious conferences and journals. He has received several accolades including the Asian Control Association Temasek Young Educator Award, the National Overseas High-Level Talent of China, and the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of the Chinese Association of Automation in 2022. Additionally, he was recognised in the Top 2% of Scientists on the Stanford List.
