Dr. Paul Fields received his PhD (Biology) from Université Laval in 1987. From 1988 until 2021, he worked as a Research Scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Winnipeg on the ecophysiology of stored-product insects. He examined how low and high temperature, natural products such as neem, pea extracts and diatomaceous earth can be used control stored-product insects. His work on insect behavior focused on trap design and insect repellents. He evaluated the efficacy of alternatives to methyl bromide in flour mills.

He served on the editorial boards of Journal of Stored Product Research (since 1995), Phytoprotection (1993-2003), The Canadian Entomologist (2003-2006), and was the editor of Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Canada (2003-2006). 

Paul has served as President of the Entomological Societies of Canada and Manitoba and was appointed as a Fellow of the Entomological Society of Canada in 2018. He has given over 60 invited presentations across Canada and internationally and published over 100 papers, 13 book chapters, and 5 patents. He has had the honor to mentor as principle supervisor, 4 PhD and 4 MSc students as an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Entomology, University of Manitoba.
