Dante C. Youla (October 17, 1925 – August 13, 2021) was Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnic Institute of New York University.[1] He has made fundamental contributions to the areas of Circuit theory, analysis and synthesis; Communication theory; microwave systems and control theory.[2][3]

The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society awarded him the Vitold Belevitch Award in 2005.[4] In 1988 he received the IEEE Control Systems Science and Engineering Award, "for original contributions in the areas of circuits, systems and control theory, and the rigorous solution of engineering problems".[5][6] And Youla received in 1965 the IEEE W.R.G. Baker Award, for his paper "A New Theory of Broad-Band Matching".[7] The Youla–Kucera parametrization in control theory is named after him.
