Extract the words between a number and alphabets

I have a string that has both numbers and words where I need to extract the specific word from the string

below is the string

2014). Research in fields like human–computer interactio n1Andrew Burton-Jones was the accepting senior editor for this paper

I need to extract the word between "1" and "was the accepting senior editor for this paper" where the output should be "Andrew Burton-Jones"

Below is the name that I have to extract

2014). Research in fields like human–computer interactio n1Andrew Burton-Jones was the accepting senior editor for this paper

There could be many formats of such string but the catch is I need to extract the words between a number and sentence i.e; "was the accepting senior editor for this paper"

Below is the code that I tried

import re

test_string = "2014).  Research  in fields like human–computer interactio n1Andrew Burton-Jones was the accepting senior editor for this paper"

# Define the regular expression pattern
pattern = r"d+(.*?)(?= was the accepting senior editor for this paper)"

# Search for the pattern in the input string
match1 = re.search(pattern, test_string)

# If the pattern is found, extract the author name
if match1:
    author_name = match1.group(1)
    print(author_name.strip())

but the above code is not giving the desired output. Can anyone help me out?
