Michael T. Bowers (born 1939) is an American mass spectroscopist, a professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara faculty.
Career
He studied at Gonzaga University, Spokane, Washington, earning his 1962 B.S. in 1962 and then earning a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois (with W.H. Flygare) 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.
