Prior to his appointment at Western New England, Hull taught at Merrimack College. He has also taught at the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics for many years: as junior staff from 1991 to 1995, and as senior staff in 1998 to 2007. He spent his undergraduate years at Hampshire College. Afterwards, Hull earned a MS and Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Rhode Island. His dissertation was in graph theory. Since graduating, he has been working on research problems in origami-math and teaching origami-math classes.
Hull's 2006 book Project Origami uses origami to teach math. He has co-authored two non-math origami books: Origami, Plain and Simple and Russian Origami, and he is on the Board of Directors of OrigamiUSA (a national non-profit arts organization). He is also featured in the 2010 origami documentary Between the Folds.
