Lieutenant Paul Hickman was a male Human Starfleet officer of the 24th century. He was married and had two children.
In the early 2360s, Hickman served on the USS Victory as an ensign. In 2362, Hickman was part of an away team commanded by Susanna Leijten along with Geordi La Forge, Mendez, and Anthony Brevelle. They investigated the disappearance of a science team on Tarchannen III. While on the planet, the entire team was unknowingly infected with an alien DNA.
By 2367, Hickman had attained the rank of lieutenant.
In 2367, Hickman passed a routine physical on Malaya IV. Despite this, he was compelled to return to Tarchannen III by the changes in his DNA. Subsequently, he stole a shuttlecraft, but was killed when his shuttle burned up while entering the atmosphere of Tarchannen III at an excessive speed. La Forge and Leijten later surmised that Hickman had likely completed his transformation into a different species while en route to the planet, leaving him unable to correctly pilot the shuttle.

Hickman was played by Amick Byram who also played Ian Andrew Troi in TNG: "Dark Page".
