Jarzynski Receives Lee Whi-soh Award for Thermodynamics
Original: Jarzynski Wins Lee Whi-soh Award for Thermodynamics Work
Physicist Christopher Jarzynski has been awarded the Lee Whi-soh Award in recognition of his contributions to thermodynamics. Jarzynski is best known for the Jarzynski equality, a relation linking statistical mechanics to thermodynamic irreversibility that has become influential in nonequilibrium physics. The honor highlights the continuing impact of his theoretical work on small-scale and fluctuation-driven systems.
Why now: The announcement of a major physics award to a prominent theoretical physicist is drawing attention in science news.
