Editing List of people in systems and control

{{Short description|none}}

This is an alphabetical list of people who have made significant contributions in the fields of [[system analysis]] and [[control theory]].

==Eminent researchers==
The eminent researchers (born after 1920) include the winners of at least one award of the [[IEEE Control Systems Award]], the [[Giorgio Quazza Medal]], the [[Hendrik W. Bode Lecture Prize]], the [[Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award]], the [[Rufus Oldenburger Medal]], or higher awards such as the [[IEEE Medal of Honor]] and the [[National Medal of Science]]. The earlier pioneers such as [[Nicolas Minorsky]] (1885–1970), [[Harry Nyquist]] (1889–1976), [[Harold Locke Hazen]] (1901–1980), [[Charles Stark Draper]] (1901–1987), [[Hendrik Wade Bode]] (1905–1982), [[Gordon S.
