Wade Mattox, MS, PhD
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Professional and Community Leadership Experience and Expertise
My personal research interests are largely focused on Group Theory, within the field of Abstract Algebra. At Salem, I have enjoyed launching and developing our minor in Data Science, as well as working with students on projects in Cryptography (adjacent to my research focus).
Salem Through My Eyes
Salem is a tight-nit community where I have witnessed students grow in confidence as scholars and as leaders. With our dedicated faculty and smaller size, this is an institution that fosters highly-individualized attention and care for students from faculty and staff. Salem’s idyllic setting and rich history make it a truly unique place to earn an education and call home.
Fun Facts
I enjoy reading, running, solving crossword puzzles as well as time with my spouse – playing with our daughter and three cats.
