George Isaac Glauberman (born 1941) is a mathematician at the University of Chicago who works on finite simple groups. He proved the ZJ theorem and the Z* theorem.
Born in New York City on March 3, 1941, Glauberman did his undergraduate studies at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1961, and earned a master's degree from Harvard University in 1962.[http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~gg/ggcv.html Curriculum vitae], retrieved 2013-07-21. He obtained his PhD degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1965, under the supervision of Richard Bruck.{{MathGenealogy|id=6606}} He has had 22 PhD students, including Ahmed Chalabi and Peter Landrock. He has co-authored with J. L. Alperin, Simon P. Norton, Zvi Arad, and Justin Lynd.
In 1970 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Nice. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-01-19.
