Jessye Talley is a professor at Morgan State University within the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. My research allows me to solve problems using mathematical models and simulations using computers. Some of my projects include: 1. A model that will determine the best amount of people and resources to respond to the Aids to Navigation on the waterways after a hurricane. 2. Helping to develop a simulation to determine seaport productivity if disruptions or threats arise. 3. Developing model to calculate consumers sickness and determine strategies to prevent from food contamination events. Outside of engineering I love to do different sewing projects, crocheting, movies and traveling. I am thankful to have the opportunity to encourage and be an example to girls to pursue STEM careers. I look forward to any questions you may have about engineering or life. Know that you can do anything you put your mind to.
