He was elected a member of NAE in 1981 "for pioneering studies in deformation and textures of engineering alloys and in electronic and magnetic characterization of complex alloy systems." Born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1908, Paul attended the Royal Hungarian Technological Institute in Budapest, where he studied mechanical engineering. He subsequently received an M.S.

, however, the nucleation of new strain-free grains was markedly different; no new orientations nucleated and grew. Instead, existing highangle grain boundaries moved into their strained neighbors leaving behind strain-free recrystallized regions.

Such information requires measurements of specific heat at low temperatures where the specific heat is linear with temperature. These very difficult experiments required measurements of alloys at closely spaced e/a (electron/atom ratio)

In 1979, he received the Heyn Memorial Award from the German Metallurgical Society and an honorary degree from Montanuniversitaet Leoben. In 1978–1979, Paul worked in Munich and Berlin, after receiving a Humboldt Senior Scientist Award.
