Biography

Paul Karl Stumpf (1919-2007) received his B.A. degree in 1941 from Harvard College and his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Columbia University in 1945. After eighteen months at the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan as an instructor, he accepted an appointment at the University of California at Berkeley as an assistant professor of plant nutrition. After ten years on the Berkeley campus, where he rose to the rank of professor of agricultural chemistry and chair of that department, he transferred to the Davis campus to establish a new department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in 1959.
Stumpf was interested in campus planning and served on the Campus Building Committee during the 1960s. After his retirement in 1984, Stumpf served as the founding president of the UC Davis Emeriti Association.
He passed away on February 10, 2007.
