Paul Fishwick is a distinguished computer scientist and educator with a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and over two decades of leadership bridging computing, art, and technology. He has held distinguished chairs at UF and UTD and now leads Metaphorz, providing expert software forensics, 3D reconstruction, and simulation services for litigation, standards compliance, and hurricane loss modeling. His work spans visual analytics, virtual reality, and creative automata, with a track record of translating complex simulation and visualization research into practical forensic and educational tools. A past ACM SIGSIM chair and longtime Fellow of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International, he combines academic rigor with hands-on industry impact dating back to NASA and shipbuilding systems work. Less obvious: he routinely applies game engines and embedded platforms to accident reconstruction and STEM education, making high-fidelity simulation accessible to non-engineers. Based in Florida, he continues active consulting and expert testimony while maintaining a focus on interdisciplinary, visual-driven approaches to computing.
