Michael Wieser earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Calgary in 1998, where he worked at the H. Roy Krouse Isotope Laboratory. Following graduation, Wieser contributed to the development of laser ablation systems for measuring isotopic compositions of inorganic materials at ThermoElectron in Bremen, Germany. He then joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Curtin University in Western Australia to conduct research on decay products related to neutrino physics. Since his appointment at the University of Calgary in the Fall of 1999, he has established a facility for analyzing the molybdenum-lead isotopic compositions at trace levels. In 2009, his laboratory acquired multiple collector mass spectrometers, enabling significant contributions to the investigation of isotopic compositions of metals such as molybdenum, copper, iron, zinc, lead, and uranium within geological and biological systems. Wieser is a member of the TITAN research group at TRIUMF, focusing on high-accuracy mass measurements for nuclear physics research, and has been actively involved in IUPAC's Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights. His ongoing work emphasizes the impact of trace metal isotopes on biogeochemical cycling and health sciences, integrating both geosphere and biosphere studies.
