Glenn works with doctoral students at both Rutgers and Royal Holloway.  See the description of his work with doctoral students for details and links to information on applying to the doctoral programs at the two institutions.

Glenn also serves as faculty director of the doctoral program at the Rutgers Business School.  This program, which has many majors, trains students for careers as business school professors – an opportunity often overlooked by academically oriented students completing bachelor's and master's degrees in the mathematical and social sciences; see the program's frequently asked questions.

Glenn’s collaboration with colleagues at Royal Holloway has produced two books in recent years, Probability and Finance: It’s Only a Game, with Vladimir Vovk, and Algorithmic Learning Theory, with Vladimir Vovk and Alex Gammerman.

Glenn spent his childhood on a farm near Caney, Kansas. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematical statistics from Princeton University in 1973.  After teaching at Princeton for three years, he returned to Kansas, where he taught in the mathematics department and the business school.  He moved to Rutgers in 1992.
