Professor Gunningberg was appointed full professor in Data Communication at Uppsala University in 1999, senior professor in 2020 and professor emeritus in 2023. During 2007 to 2013 he was the (founding) director of the Vinnova Excellence Center research center WISENET on wireless sensor networks. In 2014 he co-founded the Swedish Innovation Program on Internet-of-Things located at Uppsala University.
   He got his PhD on fault tolerant distributed systems from Uppsala University 1983,
his MSc in Computer Science from University of California Los Angeles, UCLA, in 1981. He has since then been working in the computer communications, networking and distributed systems areas. He was a visiting professor at UCLA during 1984-85. Before joining the Uppsala University faculty in 1995 he was a researcher and group leader at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS/RISE). During Spring 2007 he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, in 2011 a visiting professor at ETH Zurich, 2015 a guest professor at NICTA Sydney and in 2017 he was a visiting Researcher at Ericsson's Research facility in Silicon Valley.
   He is regarded as one of the networking authorities on the academic side in Sweden and he has founded several collaborate centers/programs with industry partners, including WISENET in 2007 and the SIP-IoT in 2014. He has authored or co-authored more than 170 publications and he has five patents in the area.  He has been invited to international panels, given key talks and tutorials and as well as acted as reviewer of major international research programs. He has guided 18 PhD students to their PhD degrees and several others to their licentiate degrees.
   On the professional side he has been a member of the Technical Advisory Committee for the ACM SIGCOMM society, an associate editor for the IEEE Transaction on Mobile Computing and the journal Computer Networks besides servicing regularly on the major conference program committees in the networking area.  On the entrepreneurial side he has been consulting for Ericsson, Telenor and smaller telecom companies. He is a co-founder of three companies, the most recent is OptiMobile AB.
