Biography
Anders Hansson was born in Trelleborg, Sweden, in 1964. He received the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1989, the Degree of Licentiate of Engineering in Automatic Control in 1991, and the PhD in Automatic Control in 1995, all from Lund University, Lund, Sweden. In 1989, 1992, and 1995 he spent three months at Landis & Gyr AG, Switzerland. During the academic year 1992-1993 he spent six months at Imperial College in London, UK. From 1995 until 1997 he was a postdoctoral student, and from 1997 until 1998 a research associate at the Information Systems Lab, Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University. In 1998 he was appointed assistant professor and in 2000 associate professor (docent) at S3-Automatic Control, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. In 2001 he was appointed associate professor at the Division of Automatic Control, Linkoping University. From 2006 he is full professor in the same department. During 2010-11 he was a visiting professor at UCLA. Anders Hansson is a senior member of IEEE. During 2006-2007 he was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He was a member of the EUCA Council 2009-2015, and of Technical Committee on Robust and Complex Systems of the IEEE Control Systems Society from 2009. His research interests are within the fields of optimal control, stochastic control, linear systems, and signal processing. He got the SAAB-Scania Research Award in 1992.
