He is also Adjunct Professor at the University of Wyoming (Laramie, WY), Professor of Biomechanical Engineering at the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies (Cape Canaveral, FL).
He has been twice Visiting Professor at the Università degli Studi di Udine, once at the Facoltà di Medicina Veterinaria, and once in the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Architettura.
He is a Member of the Board of Examiners of the American Board of Vestibular Rehabilitation ‑ American College of Functional Neurology (Cocoa, FL), and vice‑president of the Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium (RMBS) and co‑chair of the RMBSContest.
He is the winner of several awards, including the President's Award for significant contributions to the RMBS (2009) and three RMBS ‑ K.C. Rock Student Contest awards (1998, 1999, and 2000).
His main interests include Biomechanics (human locomotion and postural control), Neuro‑Physiology (neuromuscular control and brain function), Computer Science (software design and engineering, data acquisition, signal analysis, numerical methods, mathematical modeling of biological systems), and Mechanical Engineering (sensors and transducers design, car safety and crashworthiness).
He is a Reviewer for the following journals: Biomedical Signal Processing and Control (2016 and 2017 outstanding reviewer), Medical Engineering & Physics, IEEE Sensors Journal, Journal of Biomechanics (2017 outstanding reviewer; 2014 recognized reviewer), Biomedical Signal Processing and Control (2016 and 2017 outstanding reviewer), Gait & Posture (2015 outstanding reviewer), Biomedical Sciences Instrumentation, Neuroscience Letters and Journal of Vestibular Research.
He is currently a co‑investigator in several studies within and without the CAPS® Research Network.
He has written several book chapters and more than 50 papers on these topics, and holds the title to 4 US patents.
He commenced his 5 year undergraduate degree at Phillip Institute (now RMIT University) in 1979 and has been practising continually as a registered chiropractor in private practice since 1983. He practiced in Melbourne until 1989, when he moved to Dublin, Ireland with his family.
While in Ireland, he completed a 3 year diploma in Acupuncture Studies (Dip.Ac) at the Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland under Mr. Giovanni Maciocia from 1989 to 1992, a Graduate Program in chiropractic clinical neuroscience (Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board) under Dr. Frederick R. Carrick from 1995 to 1998, and a PhD at the Centre for Complementary Health Studies at the University of Exeter from 1992 to 1998.
Upon returning to Australia 1999, Paul has practiced as a chiropractor in Melbourne at the Small Street Clinic.
He established the first accredited curriculum‑based post graduate program in clinical neuroscience for chiropractors. He has delivered over 2000 hours of post‑graduate CPD accredited lectures for the Carrick Institute in Australia and New Zealand. He has delivered post graduate lectures for the CAA (Chiropractors Association of Australia) CAI (Chiropractors Association of Ireland) and Asian Pacific Chiropractic Doctors Federation and the European Chiropractors Union.
He is also engaged in clinical research. Along with Dr Kelly Holt, PhD, he co‑authored a published research project investigating falls risk amongst older chiropractic patients.
As a follow up to that study, along with co‑investigators Dr. Guido Pagnacco and Dr. Elena Oggero of Vestibular Technologies, he is currently the principal investigator of a large international multicentre study investigating the impact of eye movements on postural stability (https://clinicaltrials.gov).
