Peter Winston Gunnar Glynn (* before 1978) is an American mathematician who is involved in operations research . He is a professor at Stanford University .
Life
Glynn earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Carleton University in 1978 and received his PhD in Operations Research from Stanford University with Donald Iglehart (Simulation Output Analysis for General State Space Markov Chains) in 1982 . In 1982 he became Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison , 1987 Associate Professor and 1994 Professor of Operations Research at Stanford University. From 2006 to 2010 he was director of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering. He is the Thomas Ford Professor of Engineering in the Faculty of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University.
He deals with queuing theory , statistical inference, stochastic processes, stochastic modeling and simulation, numerical probability theory (computational probability).
In 2010 he and Søren Asmussen received the John von Neumann Theory Prize for outstanding contributions to applied probability theory and stochastic simulation . He is a Fellow of INFORMS , the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and the National Academy of Engineering .
He should not be confused with Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Miami Peter W. Glynn .
