| 作者简介:David D. Yao (Columbia University) received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto in 1983, and started his academic career at Columbia University, where he became a full professor in 1988, and a holder of Columbia's Thomas Alva Edison Chair in 1992. He has held a part-time appointment at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center since 1990. His other academic appointments include Harvard (1986-88), Yale (1991/92), the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Tsinghua University (Beijing). He is an IEEE Fellow, and a recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship (1991/92); the Presidential YoungInvestigator Award (1987-92) from the National Science Foundation (U.S.);the Franz Edelman Award (1999) from the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences; and from IBM Research, the Outstanding Technical Achievement Award (1999), Research Division Award (1996),and several Invention Achievement Awards. Author/co-author of over 150 refereed publications, three books andfour edited volumes, he has served on the editorial board of several leading journals, including Discrete Event Dynamic Systems, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Management Science, Operations Research, and Queueing Systems. A principal investigator of over two dozen research grants and contracts, he has done extensive research and consulting work in various aspects of semiconductor manufacturing, computer systems scheduling, Internet and web-server performance optimization, and supply chain management.He is a holder of foru U.S patents in manufacruing operations and supply chain logistics. |
