Anders Ardö has a background in Computer Systems with a PhD from Lund University in 1986. From 1979 to 1986, he held various teaching and research positions in the Department of Computer Engineering at Lund University. During 1986 - 1994 he held a position as Associate Professor in Computer Engineering. Since 1992 AA is working with researching and developing digital library services first at Lund University Library, development department (NetLab), then at the Technical Knowledge Center & Library of Denmark (DTV) and now at Dept. of Electrical and Information Technology, Lund University.

AA founded NetLab 1992 and was department head until 1996. During this time NetLab grew from 2 to 10 persons and marked itself as one of the internationally leading development laboratories within the emerging field ``digital libraries''. From 1996 to 2002 AA was Head of research and Scientist at DTV development department, which matches NetLab's strong position internationally.

Now AA is back as Associate Professor and Docent at department of Electrical and Information Technology, Lund University, where he is managing the Knowledge Discovery and Digital Library Research Group (KnowLib). 

He is and have been involved in a number of European Union and national projects, focusing on distributed computer systems for information discovery and retrieval.

AA have some 90 scientific and other publications.

His main areas of interest are digital library development; parallel/distributed computing; focused Web crawling; advanced methods for information discovery and retrieval; and automatic subject classification/text mining.
