Education and career

Kadirkamanathan was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. He is one of six children. [2] He completed his school education in Jaffna at St John's College Jaffna before moving to the United Kingdom to pursue an engineering education. He received his graduate degree in Electrical and Information Sciences and Ph.D. in Information Engineering, both from the Cambridge University, at Christ's College. He joined University of Sheffield in 1993 as lecturer in the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering. He was subsequently promoted to senior lecturer, then reader, and finally professor in 2007. [2] From April 2009 to August 2014, he served as the Head of Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering.

Kadirkamanathan's primary area of research is in the field of signal and information processing, including signal estimation and fault detection. He also works in the area of autonomous systems and swarm intelligence.

Anders Gunnar Lindquist is a Swedish applied mathematician and control theorist. He has made contributions to the theory of partial realization, stochastic modeling, estimation and control, and moment problems in systems and control. In particular, he is known for the discovery of the fast filtering algorithms for (discrete-time) Kalman filtering in the early 1970s, and his seminal work on the separation principle of stochastic optimal control and, in collaborations with Giorgio Picci, the Geometric Theory for Stochastic Realization. Together with late Christopher I. Byrnes and Tryphon T. Georgiou, he is one of the founder of the so-called Byrnes-Georgiou-Lindquist school. They pioneered a new moment-based approach for the solution of control and estimation problems with complexity constraints.
