Fred W. Glover (born March 8, 1937 in Kansas City, Missouri) received his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Carnegie Mellon University and was a Post-doctoral Research Fellow with the Miller Research Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, associated with [George Dantzig | George B. Dantzig’s] Center of Operations Research.[1] He is known for his contributions to the area of metaheuristics (a name he coined) [2] and for launching the computer-based optimization methodology of Tabu Search [3][4][5] and the associated evolutionary Path Relinking algorithm.[6][7] Glover's principal areas of research include the fields of analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and applied mathematics. His work is the subject of numerous books and international meetings of major societies.[1]
Professional background
Glover obtained his bachelor degree from the University of Missouri - Kansas City in 1960, and his Ph.D. from Carnegie-Mellon University,1965. He has been head of research at the Hearin Center for Enterprise Science (2000–2002), at Analysis, Research and Computation, Inc. (1969–1981), at the University of Colorado NASA Center for Space Construction (1990–1991) and the University of Colorado Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (1984–1990). He has held teaching and research positions in the University of Texas (1967–1970) and the University of California at Berkeley (1965–1967).[1]
Glover is chief technology officer of OptTek Systems, Inc., in charge of algorithmic design, computer software development, and strategic planning initiatives.[8] He holds the title of Distinguished University Professor, Emeritus, in the School of Engineering and in the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado.
Glover was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2002.[9]
Research
Glover’s principal areas of research are in a number of fields, including: applications of computers to the fields of optimization, applied artificial intelligence, systems design, multicriteria analysis, decision support, logistics, natural resources planning, large scale allocation models, transportation, financial analysis and industrial planning.[1]
