In existographies, Ryogo Kubo (1920-1995) (CR:3) was a Japanese mathematical physicist, known commonly as a pioneer of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.
Overview
Kubo’s 1976 Thermodynamics discusses the usage of the term free enthalpy as well as the history of the term bound energy. [1]
His work, according to Russian physical chemist Georgi Gladyshev, supposedly, has been influential to the Russian school of thermodynamics, particular in complex systems thermodynamics. [2]
Kubo was 1977 winner of the Boltzmann Medal; another notable winner is Eugene Stanley (2004), the so-called coiner of “econophysics”. [3]
