Arthur Winfree (1942-05-15 - 2002-11-05) was an American scientist with broad areas of expertise. His major contribution to the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction was showing that a nonlinear reaction-diffusion partial differential equation could mathematically support the seemingly thermodynamic law defying Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction.
