Anders Lindquist was born in Lund, Sweden, in 1942. He received the civiling., TeknL and TeknD degrees from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, and in 1972 he was appointed a Docent of Optimization and Systems Theory there.

From 1972 to 1974 he held visiting positions at the University of Florida, Brown University, and 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 presently a Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology, where in 1982 he was appointed to the Chair of Optimization and Systems Theory, and an Affiliate Professor at Washington University, St Louis. He has also held visiting positions at University of Padova, Italy, University of Arizona, USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, East China Normal University, Shanghai, and Technion, Haifa, Israel. From 1975 to 1976 he was a SIAM Visiting Lecturer. He is the author of many papers in the area of systems and control, especially stochastic control, filtering, stochastic systems theory, realization theory, and applications of nonlinear dynamics in estimation and control.

Lindquist is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, a fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and an honorary member the Hungarian Operations Research Society . He is also a Communicating Editor of the Journal of Mathematical Systems, Estimation, and Control (published by Birkhäuser Boston) and, until 1993, he was an Associate Editor of Systems and Control Letters (North-Holland). He also serves on the editorial boards of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing (John Wiley & Sons) and of the book series Systems and Control: Foundations and Applications and Applied and Computational Control, Signals, and Circuits (Birkhäuser Boston). Until 1993, he also served on the editiorial board of the book series Progress in Systems and Control (Birkhäuser Boston). Since 1983 he has been a member, and between 1985 and 1987 the chairman, of the steering committee for the biannual international symposia on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS).
