Walter Wilcox is professor of physics at Baylor University in Waco, TX, USA, and served as Secretary/Treasurer in the Texas Section of the American Physical Society from 2017-2023. He earned a PhD in elementary particle physics from UCLA in 1981 under the guidance of Dr. Julian Schwinger. He has also taught and conducted research at Oklahoma State University (1981–1983), TRIUMF Laboratory (1983–1985), and the University of Kentucky (1985–1986). He has been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation in theoretical physics, and, in collaboration with Ron Morgan, in applied mathematics. He was also awarded the TSAPS Distinguished Service Award in 2023 and has authored approximately 50 peer-reviewed journal articles in his chosen subjects. His research focuses on the development and use of numerical methods in the field of theoretical physics known as "lattice QCD". Wilcox is an ardent supporter of the freedom-loving people of Ukraine and helped deliver humanitarian supplies from Hungary to the western region of Ukraine in the summer of 2022.
