Wells taught there for about 35 years, with sabbatical interruptions at ETH Zürich (in mathematics) and Oxford University (in computing science). He has had a research career in mathematics in finite fields, group theory and category theory. In the last twenty years he has also been interested in the language of mathematics and related issues concerning teaching and communicating abstract ideas.

He currently lives in Minnesota.
