William Glover

William Glover is the Co-Director of the NYU-ECNU Center for Computational Chemistry, a Graduate Coordinator of Chemistry, and an Associate Professor of Chemistry at NYU Shanghai. Additionally, he serves as a Global Network Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at NYU.

Will Glover received his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2009 and has since held postdoctoral fellowships at Stanford and UCLA. In his research, Professor Glover uses the concepts and tools of statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics, in combination with high-performance computational simulation methods to understand condensed- and gas-phase dynamics—at the atomistic, "first principles" level—that produce testable predictions with regard to measurable (e.g. spectroscopic) phenomena. He is already quite widely published including in the prestigious journal Science.
