'''Edward William Nigel Glover''' {{postnominals|country=GBR|FRS}} (born 20 June 1961) is a British particle physicist. He is a professor of physics at the University of Durham.<ref name="staffpage"/> He graduated from Downing College, Cambridge, with a first in Natural Sciences, and went on to complete a doctorate at Hatfield College, Durham.<ref>{{cite web|title=Profile|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigel-glover-28a428b9/|website=Linkedin|accessdate=15 March 2018}}</ref>
==Research== Glover conducts research on the phenomenology of particle physics. His calculations based on quantum chromodynamics — the theory of the strong nuclear force — are relevant to measurements made at the Large Hadron Collider.<ref name="FRS">{{cite web|url=https://royalsociety.org/people/nigel-glover-11499|title=Nigel Glover|publisher=Royal Society|location=London}} One or more of the preceding sentences may incorporate text from the royalsociety.org website where "all text published under the heading 'Biography' on Fellow profile pages is available under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License." {{cite web |url=https://royalsociety.org/about-us/terms-conditions-policies/ |title=Royal Society Terms, conditions and policies |accessdate=2016-03-09 |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170710134855/https://royalsociety.org/about-us/terms-conditions-policies/ |archivedate=2017-07-10 }}, "Intellectual property rights"</ref>
==Awards and honours== Glover was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2013. His citation reads: {{centered pull quote|Nigel Glover has made pivotal research contributions to the understanding of data collected at all high-energy particle physics colliders. His theoretical studies of weak boson, Higgs, and particularly jet production are used world-wide. He is especially distinguished for his contributions to the development and exploitation of the perturbative structure of Quantum Chromodynamics, which is vital for precision measurements at the LHC. Glover's numerous technical innovations include the use of helicities for QCD loop amplitudes, the elucidation of the infrared structure of one and two-loop processes, and pioneering work on the second-order perturbative corrections to scattering cross sections.<ref name=royal>{{cite web |url=http://royalsociety.org/people/nigel-glover|title = Professor Nigel Glover FRS|publisher=The Royal Society |archivedate=2013-05-13 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130513175312/http://royalsociety.org/people/nigel-glover |location=London}}</ref>}}
Glover was the 2017 recipient of the John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics.
==Personal life== Glover is married to Belgian mathematical physicist Anne Taormina.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.facebook.com/womeninmaths/posts/anne-taormina-professor-and-head-of-department-mathematical-sciences-durham-univ/1653444328201738/|title=Anne Taormina (Professor and Head of Department, Mathematical Sciences, Durham University)|work=Women in Maths|date=21 October 2015|via=Facebook}}</ref>
