Career
Paul Compton worked at the Garvan Institute before his appointment at UNSW. He was the Head of School from 1996–1998, and again from 2003-2010. He was very popular as Head of School, and upon his retirement a large gathering fare-welled him, as well as creating a YouTube slide-show tribute.
Research
Paul Compton along with R. Jansen proposed "ripple-down rules" in 1988.
