Biography
Luenberger was one of the original founders of the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems in 1967. He served as chairman of the department for eleven years.
He has over 70 technical publications on systems and control, in optimization, in microeconomics, and in financial engineering.[1] His Investment Science is widely prescribed and referenced by finance academics and practitioners.
He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1959, and he received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1963.[2] In his dissertation Luenberger introduced new methods for construction of state observers. The celebrated Luenberger observer is named after him.
