Joseph Glover is an American mathematician and provost of the University of Arizona. He was provost of the University of Florida from 2008 to 2023.
Education
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.[1] In 1977, he obtained a master's degree in mathematics from the University of California, San Diego,[2] where he also completed his Ph.D. in 1978 under the supervision of Michael Sharpe.[3]
Career
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.[2]
University of Florida
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.[4] 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.[5] In July 2008 Glover was appointed Provost of the University of Florida.[6] 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.[7]
University of Arizona
In April 2024 it was announced that Glover would be the next provost of the University of Arizona, beginning 1 July 2024.[8] On the day of the announcement, the Tucson Sentinel reported that over 100 University of Arizona faculty had signed a letter opposing Glover's appointment, and supporting instead the appointment of Marie Hardin, a professor at Penn State.[9]
Research
Glover's main research areas are Markov processes (in the sense of right, Hunt, and Lévy processes), probabilistic potential theory, and harmonic analysis.[10] He has co-authored papers with Ronald Getoor and Kai Lai Chung, among others.[11]
