Abstract: His research there focused on the development of pulse sequences for 2D NMR spectroscopy.He joined the Department of Radiology in 1985 when one of the first clinical 1.5T MRI units was installed at OSU.For the past eleven years he has been a leading MRI researcher at Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix, AZ.He was a member of ISMRM and its precursor societies since 1988.Paul made many contributions to the field of MR imaging.His major strength was an outstanding ability to turn novel ideas into a form that made them viable for widespread clinical application.This was true from the beginning of his career as an MRI researcher, when he very quickly turned his experience with NMR into novel MR imaging methods such as fat/water suppression by chemical shift selective presaturation, which has become one of the clinician's standard tools for controlling image contrast.Perhaps most noteworthy is his pioneering work with 2D time-of-flight angiography.The time-efficiency of this method was a first step toward establishing MR Angiography for clinical routine.More recently Paul's research efforts focused on the investigation of phase encode ordering schemes for fast-spin echo.Again his insight into both the physics and the clinical practice enabled him to contribute significantly in the development of optimal 3D-FSE imaging.Paul also was one of the first to explore
