Forrest Michael obtained his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2001, where he worked under Professor David Evans and focused on the design and development of new chiral ligands for enantioselective catalysis. After graduating, he served as a post-doctoral fellow under Professor Robert Bergman at the University of California, Berkeley, where he conducted fundamental mechanistic studies of zirconium-based catalysts in alkene functionalization. He joined the faculty at the University of Washington in 2004, where he has developed a research program that is dedicated to the study of new catalytic reactions, particularly the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds using alkene and alkyne starting materials. His research continues to explore fundamental organometallic mechanisms in the context of reaction development.
