Hello! My name is Wes Wise. I am a fourth year PhD student in mathematics at University of Southern California. I hold a BSc in General Mathematics from Appalachian State University.

Research

My current research interests include combinatorics, algebra, and cryptography. My Erdos number is 3. Here is my CV, and my research can be found here or at the Research tab above.

I am a co-organizer for the Graduate Student Combinatorics Seminar (GSCC), happening at USC in March 2025.

Teaching

For Fall 2024, I am teaching Math 226g, Calculus III. All teaching resources can be found here or at the Teaching tab above.

Otherwise

On the other side of town, my spouse Erin George is also a PhD student in (applied) mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles. Their research is primarily in bias and fairness in machine learning.

Outside of mathematics, I am an avid studio artist, weightlifter, board gamer, and swimmer. I also served on the bargaining team for UAW-872, the graduate student union here at USC.
