David Gilbert Luenberger (born September 16, 1937 in Los Angeles ) is an American electrical engineer, economist and professor at Stanford University .
He earned his bachelor's degree from Caltech in 1959 and received his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1963 with William Linvill ( Determining the State of a Linear System with Observers of Low Dynamic Order ). In his dissertation , he introduced the Luenberger observer named after him , who is widely used today, especially in the field of control engineering. In 1961/62 he was an engineer at Westinghouse Electric before becoming an assistant professor at Stanford in 1963. In 1967 he became an associate professor and in 1971 he was given a full professorship.
He was one of the founders of the Stanford Department of Engineering-Economics Systems in 1967 and served as its director for eleven years. Luenberger can look back on more than 70 publications in the fields of systems theory , optimization , economics and investment .
In 1990 he received the Hendrik W. Bode Prize of the IEEE (Control Systems Section) and the Oldenburg Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
