Dr. Wade received his Bachelor of Science (1982) and Master of Science (1984) degrees in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. From 1979-1982 he was a member of the UW Marching Band. He earned a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics (1987) from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. His dissertation, which is in the area of Numerical Analysis, was directed by John Strikwerda. While a doctoral student he was employed by the Army Math Research Center. After graduating, he received a post-doctoral research appointment in Mathematics at Cornell University, Mathematical Sciences Institute, also sponsored by the U.S. Army. There, he studied under Lars Wahlbin. He joined the faculty in the Mathematical Sciences Department at University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee in 1989. After serving 29 years at UW-Milwaukee (now Professor Emeritus at UW- Milwaukee), he moved to the Â鶹ҹÊÐ as Professor, C.B.I.T. TC/LEQSF Regents Professor, and Department Head (Mathematics).

Dr. Wade teaches mathematics and conducts research in applied mathematics, computational mathematics, data science, and machine learning. His research interests are, generally, in the areas of numerical analysis and computational mathematics. With graduate students, his research group has been working on various questions in data science and machine learning, including the development of efficient algorithms in high dimensional optimization, dimension reduction, mathematical modeling in machine learning (e.g., Variational Autoencoders VAE), and optimization in the context of neural networks/deep learning. They have worked on theory and algorithms for problems of missing data under monotone or non-monotone patterns, optimization and hyper-parameter tuning in general applications and Data Science, as well as Ridge Functions and Active Subspaces for dimension reduction. They have developed theory and application of several new Copulas to model multivariate non-normal distributions, exploring complex margin and tail inter-dependence.
