Kumpati S. Narendra is an American control theorist, who currently holds the Harold W. Cheel Professorship[4] of Electrical Engineering at Yale University. He received the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award in 2003. He is noted "for pioneering contributions to stability theory, adaptive and learning systems theory."[5] He is also well recognized for his research work towards learning including Neural Networks[6] and Learning Automata.[7]

Narendra obtained his Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1959. He has been the advisor of 47 doctoral students and 35 postdoctoral and visiting fellows. Of the 47 students, four were at Harvard University and thirty nine were at Yale University. Four others who completed their work under his direction received their degrees from other universities.
