Arash Gharehbaghi obtained a [...]. degree in biomedical engineering from Amir Kabir University, Tehran, Iran, in 2000, an advanced [...]. of Telemedia from Mons University, Belgium, and PhD degree of biomedical engineering from Linköping University, Sweden in 2014. He is a researcher at the School of Information Technology, Halmstad University, Sweden. He has conducted several studies on signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence over two decades that led to the international patents, and publications in high prestigious scientific journals.

He has proposed new learning methods for learning and validating time series analysis, among which Time-Growing Neural Network, and A-Test are two recent ones that have interested the machine learning community. He won the first prize of young investigator award from the International Federation of Biomedical Engineering in 2014.
