Professor Tim Ebbels was awarded his PhD in 1998 from the University of Cambridge. His group focuses on the application of bioinformatic, machine learning and chemometric techniques to post-genomic data, with a particular emphasis on computational metabolomics. Key areas of interest are NMR and MS data processing, data integration, visualisation, network analysis, time series and metabolite annotation. He is particularly known for the 'BATMAN' software for analysing complex metabolic NMR spectra, and more recently his work using biological pathways to build interpretable models of metabolomics data.

Tim is a previous Director of the international Metabolomics Society and a co-founder of the London Metabolomics Network. He has supported numerous efforts promoting quality and reusability of metabolomics data and is an editorial board member for BMC Bioinformatics. He has a strong commitment to education, serving as Director of the MRes in Biomedical Research at Imperial College (more than 1000 students trained) and leading Imperial's Data Analysis in Metabolomics short course. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Lifetime Honorary Fellow of the Metabolomics Society.
