At Kent he has graduated 10 Ph. D. and over 30 MS students; served many times as proposal reviewer and panelist for NSF and other funding agencies; He has been continuously funded for his projects to the tune of two or three projects a year. He was also the chairman of ACM/SIGSAM (1987-1991) and editor of ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS, 1988-1990), editor of Journal of Symbolic Computation (2000-present), and program committee chair (International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (SAC), Maui, Hawaii, July 1997).

Paul is also adopting Internet and Web related technologies for mathematical computing. With NSF support, he established SymbolicNet, a World-wide Web site for the SAC community. Currently he is active in research related to IAMC (Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation) and WME (Web-based Mathematics Education), He teaches ugrad and graduate courses on Web Design and Programming, C++, Java, OOP, Web Design and Programming I, II and Studio, and to train students in the new technologies.
