一. Biography

Matthew Middlehurst is a Lecturer of Computer Science from the School of Computing and Engineering, part of the Faculty of Management, Sciences and Engineering at the University of Bradford. He received his B.Sc. in Computer Science and defended his Ph.D. thesis titled "Detection of nuisance call centres using improved hybrid time series classification algorithms" at the University of East Anglia. Prior to joining as a lecturer at Bradford, he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton.

Matthew’s research focuses on time series machine learning (TSML), a field dedicated to developing methods that learn from sequences of ordered numerical data. Time series problems are central to many areas of science and technology. For instance, real-world applications such as human activity recognition, rehabilitation, digital health (e.g. EEG and ECG), spam call detection, financial analysis, resource management and many others can be approached through TSML methods.
