During the 2015 – 2016 academic year he spent a sabbatical at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Yale also briefly visited Cornell University in the Department of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering in the summer of 2000. He has worked for several industrial concerns, both as a consultant and as an advisor to project groups. Yale is a member of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (\mbox{INFORMS}) and the Operations Research Society of Israel (\mbox{ORSIS}). He also serves as an Associate Editor for {\it Naval Research Logistics} and has served on the editorial staff of {\it IIE Transactions} and {\it Operations Research Letters}. Yale's research interest can be broadly defined as covering Production Planning and Control. More recently Yale has focused his research on the area of Supply Chain Management, especially when integrated with transshipments or other responsive operational activities. Yale has won various prizes including a 1996 {\it IIE Transactions} Best Paper Award, the 2002 Mitchner Award in Quality Sciences and Quality Management, a 2008 IBM Faculty Award, and most recently INFORM's 2013 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice.
