Kevin Glazebrook (academic staff, postgraduate statistics centre, statistics, STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre)

Professor of Statistics and Operational Research

I have a joint appointment between the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics (Faculty of Science) and the Department of Management Science (Management School). My main interests lie in the application of probability to problems in management. In my two departments I teach a range of courses in statistics and stochastic modelling.

Research Interests

• My research centres on questions concerning how complex random systems should be optimally controlled. This work ranges from theoretical analyses of novel methodologies through to more applied work, focussing on practical applications. Application areas of current interest include:
• The optimal management of networks of inventories (eg, retail outlets);
• How manufacturing companies should manage the outsourcing of warranty repair work;
• How customers should be routed for service in complex service systems.
• I am always keen to welcome new PhD students. You will find an extensive list of recent publications on my Management School web page at http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/mansci/profiles/447/.

Personal Interests

• I grew up in the south of England, but lived in Newcastle upon Tyne for most of my adult life. It therefore inevitably follows that I suffer along with the rest of the Toon Army while footballing glory is deferred. I love most music, but am happy to single out Mozart, Mahler and Motown for special mention. I am a regular worshipper at St Thomas' church in Lancaster city centre.
