Michael T. Bowers (born 1939) is an American chemist and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Career
He graduated with a B.S. from Gonzaga University in 1962 and then graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1966.
He worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California for 2 years before joining UC Santa Barbara in 1968, where he was appointed full professor in 1976.[1]
Bowers group uses mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry to study gaseous species and determine their structure, reaction dynamics and mechanism.
