It is a great honour to receive the IEEE ICDM 2023 10-year Highest-Impact Paper Award for "Dynamic Time Warping Averaging of Time Series allows Faster and more Accurate Classification" by François Petitjean, Germain Forestier, Geoff Webb, Ann Nicholson, Yanping Chen, and Eamonn Keogh.
This was my first paper in the field of time series classification, and consequently my technical contribution was relatively minor, further evidence, in case anyone needs it, that it pays to collaborate with amazing researchers!
I had no idea at the time that this would in time grow to be my primary field of research!
