I am deeply saddened by the passing of Paul McGrath, a cherished member of the MIT and MTL family. His unwavering dedication, kindness, and wealth of knowledge enriched our community for over four decades. Paul's passion for learning and teaching left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of working with him. His presence will be greatly missed, but his contributions and the memories he created will remain a lasting legacy within MTL and MIT.nano. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who knew and admired him. With deepest sympathy, Charles Hsu MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories (I have known Paul since 1992 at MTL)
