Biography

Anders Lindquist’s fundamental and seminal contributions to optimal filtering, smoothing, and stochastic control; stochastic realization theory; system identification; and modeling of time series have led to a conceptual understanding of several deep problems in systems and control. In particular, his contributions to the geometric theory of stochastic systems, which explain basic systems’ theoretical concepts in geometric terms, has led to a deeper understanding of related algorithms. His contributions to the theoretical aspects of time-series analysis had a catalyzing effect. It led to a convex optimization approach for modeling and a unified view to a number of problems in robust control, system identification, and impedance matching. It also led to a novel framework for spectral estimation and the development of tunable algorithms known by the acronym THREE (for tunable high-resolution estimators).

An IEEE Life Fellow, Lindquist is a Zhiyuan Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
