Jens Gustedt completed his studies of mathematics at the University of Bonn
and Berlin Technical University. His research at that time covered the
intersection between discrete mathematics and efficient computation. Since
1998, he has been working as a senior scientist at the French National Institute
for Computer Science and Control (INRIA), first in the LORIA lab, Nancy,
and since 2013 in the ICube lab, Strasbourg.
Throughout his career, most of his scientific research has been accompanied
by the development of software, at the beginning mostly in C++, and then later
exclusively in C. He now serves AFNOR as an expert on the ISO
committee JTC1/SC22/WG14 and is co-editor of the C standard document
ISO/IEC 9899:2018. He also
has a successful blog that deals with programming in C and related topics.
