Dr. Glasgow has been a Presidential Lecturer for Kansas State University since 1990. In this capacity he provides presentations to Kansas middle schools, high schools, and community colleges on the connections between fluid mechanics and the physical world, as well as on the effects of human activities upon the global environment.
Dr. Glasgow has been a repeat participant in the GROW program which is designed to stimulate the interest of middle school girls in engineering and the sciences and has provided hands-on lab experiences for Girl Scouts.
Dr. Glasgow was an attendee at the 2002 Wakonse Conference for support, promotion, and improvement of college teaching. In 2004, he attended the Provost's Conference on Effective Teaching at Rock Springs (as a presenter). In 2005, he participated in panel discussions and provided laboratory experiences for high-school students attending the ESSI (Engineering and Science Summer Institute).
Dr. Glasgow's principal interests concern the interaction of turbulence with fluid-borne entities in multi-phase processes. Specific areas of study include flocculation, aggregate breakage, aggregate deformation and the expulsion of interstitial fluid from floc structures. In addition, he has investigated bubble formation, coalescence and breakage in aerated reactors, and the effects of energetic interfacial phenomena upon cells in culture. Very recently he has explored the impulsive distribution of small particles in air-filled chambers with emphasis upon size reduction of aggregates of very small reactive particles.
Licensed Professional Engineer, Kansas, 9418 (since February 1983).
