Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandeep Banik is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with 11 years of engineering and research experience bridging game theory, control theory, and machine learning to secure cyber-physical systems against deterministic, stochastic, and takeover attacks. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Michigan State University and brings hands-on expertise from internships at Pacific Northwest National Lab and industry projects at Siemens and Ford that applied model-based estimation and Kalman filtering to physical systems. His current work develops both model-based and model-free defense frameworks, translating theoretical game-theoretic insights into algorithms that operate under real-world control constraints. Comfortable across Matlab/Simulink and ML toolchains, he combines classical mechanical engineering foundations with modern learning methods—a blend evident in his trajectory from mechanical design and system identification to adversarial resilience research. Colleagues describe him as methodical and pragmatic, often finding novel ways to leverage system structure to reduce attacker impact before heavy computation is needed.
