Launched in 2018 on the initiative of the Equal Opportunity Committee of HEC Lausanne, the Female Career Award HEC Lausanne (UNIL) honours between once and twice a year an outstanding female academic career of a researcher affiliated to an institution outside UNIL. On 14 June, Candace A. Yano, Professor at the University of California, Berkley, will give a seminar as part of the award ceremony for her remarkable career path, which is a true source of inspiration for women aiming for an academic career.
Professor Yano’s primary research interests are production, inventory and logistics management, particularly on how to deal with various sources of uncertainty in these contexts, as well as interdisciplinary problems involving operations and marketing. She has authored or co-authored over 80 articles and book chapters on these subjects and is the recipient of a variety of National Science Foundation and industry grants. She has served as the Editor-in-Chief of IIE Transactions and Department Editor for Management Science, as well as in various editorial capacities for Operations Research, Interfaces (now INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics), Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, Service Science and Naval Research Logistics, among others.
Professor Yano is a co-founder of the Women in Operations Research and Management Science (WORMS) Forum within the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and was awarded this organization’s Award for the Advancement of Women in 2008. She has also received the Kimball Medal, the highest award for service given by INFORMS, in 2018.
