About this Event
“Industrial and Systems Engineering: Life, Lessons and Research”
by Jessye Talley PhD, Morgan State University, Industrial & Systems Engineering Department
We want to create and build systems/places that are low cost, efficient, and of good quality. This is the idea around Industrial and Systems Engineering. We will explore this field and I will share some of my journey learning and growing in this area. Dr. Talley will also discuss some of her research in relation to food contamination outbreaks which are becoming more prevalent in today’s society. This in turn can lead to many illnesses that can cause a loss of confidence in the food chain. She will end with advice about career and graduate school.
Dr. Jessye Talley attended North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, where she received all her degrees in Industrial & Systems Engineering with a concentration in Operations Research. Her research focuses on problems that identify vulnerabilities and disruptions that occur within supply chains to develop intervention or mitigation strategies that optimize the total system. To do this research she employs the following techniques which includes stochastic and deterministic modeling of supply chains using stochastic programming, Markov chains, differential equations, linear programming, and queueing theory. Dr. Talley’s current research interest consists of applications in humanitarian relief, emergency preparedness and response to address ports, healthcare, and food supply chain safety and defense. Dr. Talley is currently an assistant professor at Morgan State University in the Industrial & Systems Engineering department.
