Gustaf Hendeby received the M.Sc. degree in applied physics and electrical engineering in 2002 and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control in 2008, both from Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden. He is Associate Professor and Docent at the division of Automatic Control, Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University. He worked as Senior Researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) 2009–2011, as Senior Scientist at Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI) and held an adjunct Associate Professor position at Linköping University 2011–2015. His main research interests are sensor fusion and stochastic signal processing with applications to nonlinear problems, target tracking, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and he is the author of several published articles and conference papers in the area. He has experience of both theoretical analysis as well as implementation aspects.

Dr. Hendeby is since 2018 an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems in the area of target tracking/multisensor systems, Associate Editor in Chief for Journal of Advances in Information Fusion (JAIF) since 2024, and since 2021 leader of the WASP Localization and Navigation Area Cluster. In 2022 he served as general chair for the 25th IEEE International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION) in Linköping, Sweden and Technical Chair for the 26th and 27th IEEE International Conference on Information Fusion in Charleston, SC and Venice, Italy. He was elected into the International Society of Information Fusion (ISIF) board of governors for the 2023–2025 period.
