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's Center of Operations Research. He is known for his contributions to the area of metaheuristics (a name he coined) and for launching the computer-based optimization methodology of Tabu Search and the associated evolutionary Scatter Search and Path Relinking algorithms. 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.
