Website

Paul Glendinning is a Professor of Applied Mathematics, in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester who is known for his work on dynamical systems, specifically models of the time-evolution of complex mathematical or physical processes. His main areas of research are bifurcation theory (particularly global bifurcations); synchronization and blowout bifurcations; low-dimensional maps; and quasi-periodically forced systems.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Education

He gained his PhD from King's College, Cambridge in 1985 with a thesis entitled Homoclinic Bifurcations under the supervision of Nigel Weiss.

Career and research

After postdoctoral research at the University of Warwick, he returned to Cambridge, with a Junior Research Fellowship at King's. In 1987 he moved to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge as Director of Studies in Applied Mathematics. In 1992 he won the Adams Prize. In 1996 he was appointed to a chair at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London and then to a chair at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 2000.

In 2004 the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST merged and he was appointed as head of the School of Mathematics formed by the merger of the Mathematics Departments in the former institutions. His term of office as head of school expired in August 2008.

He is on the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Applied Mathematics and the journal Dynamical Systems.

Personal life

Glendinning is married and lives in Marsden, West Yorkshire. He is the son of the writer and broadcaster Victoria Glendinning and the brother of philosopher Simon Glendinning.
