Tejas Guha
Research Assistant, Project 3

Tejas is an undergraduate student in the Electrical Engineering department at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is currently working on a project to correlate auditory effort with aging using heart rate variability calculated from artifacts in MEG data during speech processing tasks. His other research interests are in machine learning and signal processing, especially in application to robotics. He will be graduating in 2024 and will be pursing a Masters program in computer science after graduation.
