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.
