Julie Simmons Ivy is a professor of industrial and systems engineering and a Fitts Faculty Fellow in Health Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University. Her research involves health care statistics[1] and the application of systems engineering to health care[2] and to other social services including food bank distribution systems.[3][4]

Education and career

Ivy graduated from the University of Michigan in 1991, and completed a master's degree in 1992 at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She returned to Michigan for doctoral study, completing a Ph.D. in 1998.[1] Her dissertation, Determining Maintenance and Replacement Policies for a Multi-State Deteriorating Process with Probabilistic Monitoring, was supervised by Stephen M. Pollock.[5]

She worked as a faculty member in the School of Business at the University of Michigan from 1998 to 2007 before moving to North Carolina State University.[1][5]

Ivy is African-American,[6] and was the president of the INFORMS Minority Issues Forum for 2011–2013. She also chaired the INFORMS Health Applications Section for 2007.[1][5]

Since 2016 she has been chair of the board of directors of the Health Systems Engineering Alliance, an association of university programs focused on engineering approaches to health care delivery.[5]

Recognition

In 2016, INFORMS gave Ivy their Moving Spirit Award for her work with their Minority Issues Forum.[7] She was the 2020 winner of the WORMS Award for the Advancement of Women in Operations Research and Management Science.[1] In 2022 she was named a Fellow of INFORMS, "for her service and significant contributions in healthcare and hunger relief, which have advanced the stature and recognition of the OR/MS profession, making it more inclusive for underrepresented members".[8]
