David Yao joined the IEOR Department in 1983, and became a full
professor in 1988. He has been an IEEE fellow, and a recipient of many
awards, including the Outstanding Paper Prize (2003) from the Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Franz Edelman Award (1999)
from the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences, the
Outstanding Technical Achievement Award (1999) from IBM, the Guggenheim
Fellowship (1991/92) from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Presidential
Young Investigator Award (1987-92) from the National Science
Foundation, and the George Nicholson Prize (1983) from the Operations
Research Society of America.
Author or coauthor of over 160 refereed publications, three books, and
five edited volumes, he is the stochastic models area editor of
Operations Research, and has served on the editorial board of several
other leading journals. A principal investigator of over two dozen
research grants and contracts, he has done extensive scientific and
consulting work in semiconductor manufacturing, computer systems
scheduling, Internet and Web-server performance optimization, and
supply chain management. He is a holder of four U.S. patents in
manufacturing operations and supply-chain logistics.
