Si l'on cherche à caractériser l'homme et l'oeuvre, les mots-clés deviennent : système optimisation. Ce dans toutes leurs acceptions. Il caractérisent l'ingénieur, le mathématicien et l'administrateur.
En effet, l'on doit retenir, chez Jean-Guy Paquet, un sens de l'organisation assez exceptionnel et l'art d'obtenir un rendement optimum des ressources mises à la disposition des organismes dont il a la direction. Pendant son séjour au Département de génie électrique, il a été à l'origine de l'organisation de deux groupes de recherches, qui ont atteint une renommée certaine, soit ceux d'automatique et bionique. Son passage à la direction de la Faculté des sciences d'alors coïncide avec les premiers efforts de rationalisation de la recherche.
Sa formation de chercheur, en France et sous la direction du Professeur Jean-Charles Gille à Québec, l'a amené à l'analyse et à la synthèse des systèmes physiques - plus spécifiquement ceux essentiellement non-linéaires pour le conduire, par la suite, à l'étude d'autres systèmes, plus complexes ceux-là, appartenant à d'autres disciplines, telle la biologie.
Il serait difficile enfin de ne pas retenir ici les services qu'il a rendus à la communauté universitaire francophone du pays, lors de son séjour au Conseil national de recherches à Ottawa.
Plus récemment, il a agi vigoureusement dans l'intérêt de la communauté scientifique nationale comme président de SCITEC (1975-76) alors que cette même communauté connaissait les difficultés de l'année d'austérité.
