Education edit
Glover attended Cornell University for his bachelor's degree, where classes taught by Leonard Gross, Kiyosi Itô, and Frank Spitzer sparked his interest in probability theory.[2] In 1977 he obtained a master's degree in mathematics from the University of California, San Diego,[3] where he also completed his Ph.D. in 1978 under the supervision of Michael Sharpe.[4]
Career edit
Glover began his academic career at University of California, Berkeley, and went on to serve as an assistant professor at the University of Rochester from 1979-1982.[3]
University of Florida edit
In 1982, Glover joined the faculty at the University of Florida as an assistant professor of mathematics. In 1987 he was promoted to full professor, and served as department chair from 1993 to 1998. Glover then served as the associate dean for faculty affairs for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.[5] In 2001 he was named Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, and then was promoted to interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science in 2006, and he served in this capacity for the 2007-08 academic year.[6] In July 2008 Glover was appointed Provost of the University of Florida.[7] He served as provost until July 2023, when he stepped down from the position to become senior advisor to the University of Florida's incoming president, Ben Sasse.[8]
In 2010 Glover was a proponent of a controversial effort to introduce block tuition for University of Florida students, in replacement of having students pay by credit hour. He said that "a student who spends more time here is taking up a spot that a student waiting in the wings is waiting to have",[9] and estimated that it could bring in around $4 million a year in additional revenue for the university.[10]
Research edit
Glover's main research areas are Markov processes (in the sense of right, Hunt, and Lévy processes), probabilistic potential theory, and harmonic analysis.[11] He has co-authored papers with Ronald Getoor and Kai Lai Chung, among others.[12]
