Yuheng Bu

Dr. Yuheng Bu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, part of the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. His research focuses on machine learning, information theory, and signal processing, with applications in fair/trustworthy ML, uncertainty quantification, and anomaly detection. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2019), an MS from the same institution (2016), and a B.E. from Tsinghua University (2014).

Research interests include developing robust watermarking techniques for large language models, ensuring algorithmic fairness, and advancing theoretical foundations of learning algorithms via information-theoretic methods. His work bridges theory and practice, addressing challenges in model security, interpretability, and generalization.

Key honors include the Yi-Min Wang and Pi-Yu Chung Research Award (2019). His publications emphasize security-aware ML, uncertainty quantification, and information-theoretic analysis of learning algorithms. While no advising or grants are listed, his lab likely focuses on interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of ECE and computer science.
