Dr. Michael Knapp earned his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the University of California, San Diego, specializing in magnetism and spectroscopy of polynuclear metal complexes. He carried out postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley on H-atom tunneling in enzymes. He then spent 22 years on the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he trained graduate and undergraduate students in O2-sensing enzymology and molecular sensing with support from agencies including the NIH. He has performed extensive public and professional service in education and the broadening of participation in science.
