Anders Lindquist
Professor of Optimization and Systems Theory
Director, Strategic Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CIAM)


Curriculum Vitae Anders Lindquist received his PhD degree from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, where in 1972 he was appointed a Docent of Optimization and Systems Theory. From 1972 to 1974 he held visiting positions at the University of Florida, Brown University, and the State University of New York at Albany. In 1974 he became an Associate Professor, and in 1980 a (full) Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, where he remained until 1983. He is now a Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology, where in 1982 he was appointed to the Chair of Optimization and Systems Theory. Since then he has also held visiting positions at the University of Padova and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy, Arizona State University, International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, Vienna, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, East China Normal University, Shanghai, Technion, Haifa, University of California at Berkeley, and University of Kyoto, Japan.  

Presently, Anders Lindquist is the Head of the Mathematics Department and the Director of the Strategic Research Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CIAM), both at the Royal Institute of Technology. He is a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, a Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and an Honorary Member the Hungarian Operations Research Society. He is an Affiliate Professor at Washington University, St Louis (since 1989) and a member of the Board of Governors of the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) in Haifa. For the first half of 2003, he served as the scientific leader at Institut Mittag-Leffler.

Lindquist was awarded the 2009 W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize in Mathematics from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). He was also the recipient (together with C. I. Byrnes and T. T. Georgiou) of the  George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award of the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) for the year 2003. He has served on many editorial boards of journals, among them the Journal of Mathematical Systems, Estimation, and Control (Communicating Editor), Systems and Control Letters, Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Acta Automatica Sinica, and book series, namely Systems and Control: Foundations and Applications, Applied and Computational Control, Signals, and Circuits, and Progress in Systems and Control. Since 1983 he has been a member, and between 1985 and 1987 the chairman, of the steering committee for the biennial international symposia on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS).
