J Benjamin C Whitaker is Professor of Chemical Physics within the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds, [cite web |url=http://www.chem.leeds.ac.uk/People/Whitaker.html |title=University of Leeds - Chemistry Department] . He was educated at University College School, London and Sussex University (B.Sc. in chemical physics, 1978) where he also completed his D.Phil. research on laser induced emission spectroscopy under the supervision of Professor Tony McCaffery (D.Phil., 1981). He is mainly known for work in molecular reaction dynamics and photofragment-ion imaging. He is also associated with some of the early chemical applications of the web with Henry Rzepa.
