Dr Gordon Hunter is a Senior Lecturer in the Machine Learning Group at Kingston University in London, England.

He has appeared on University Challenge in two different series (once from the Bamber Gascoigne era and once from the Jeremy Paxman era), though several contestants have achieved the same feat.
His current research interests include machine learning applications in the sport of tennis - despite Dr Hunter being a cricket aficionado. His cricketing interests include both watching and playing.
