Peter W. Glynn (Stanford University) Prof. Glynn is the current Chair of the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Prior to joining Stanford University in 1987, he served at the faculty of University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he held a joint appointment between the Industrial Engineering Department and Mathematics Research Center, and courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Mathematics. Prof. Glynn is recognized as a world leader in various areas of applied probability and, in particular, in the modern theory of stochastic simulation, and is the recipient of many prestigious awards due to his contributions to the areas of simulation, computational probability, queueing theory and statistical inference for stochastic processes. He is a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS). He has published over 140 scientific papers and he is the author of two of the ten most influential papers of the first 40 years of Winter Simulation Conference. He was also a co-winner of Best Publication Awards from the INFORMS Simulation Society in 1993 and 2008, was a co-winner of the Best (Biannual) Publication Award from the INFORMS Applied Probability Society in 2009. In 2010, he has won The John von Neumann Theory prize which is awarded by INFORMS to scholars who made fundamental and sustained contributions to the areas of operations research and management science.
