About Me

Yifeng (Troy) Bu

I'm an Electrical Engineering Ph.D. specializing in medical devices and signal processing, working at the intersection of electrical engineering, neuroscience, physiology, and AI to advance next-generation healthcare technology.

My research focuses on developing innovative wearable medical devices that non-invasively capture autonomic neurograph (ANG) activity and physiological biomarkers. Currently, I'm working toward FDA 510(k) clearance for technologies that could transform how we monitor and treat conditions related to inflammation and mental health.

I bring a multidisciplinary perspective spanning electrical engineering, machine learning, and biomedical engineering — combining rigorous technical expertise with a deep understanding of clinical needs. I'm also at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge AI tools into practical clinical applications.
