Why Is Benjamin J. Whitaker Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, J Benjamin C Whitaker was Professor of Chemical Physics in the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds. Whitaker was educated at University College School, London and the University of Sussex where he also completed his doctorate on laser induced emission spectroscopy under the supervision of Professor Tony McCaffery . He was mainly known for work in molecular reaction dynamics and photofragment-ion imaging. He was also associated with some of the early chemical applications of the web with Henry Rzepa. He was also a committed science communicator and educator, and a founding member of the Superposition arts-science collective. As of 2021, he was on the executive committee of Scientists for Labour. He died in September 2022 following a period of illness.
