A theoretical physicist who studied how microscopic correlations determine transport in fluids. In a 1960 paper, Green showed that a proposed expression for thermal conductivity was equivalent to his earlier autocorrelation expression. Such formulas connect a macroscopic transport measurement with the persistence of microscopic fluctuations, making equilibrium dynamics useful for understanding irreversible flow.[ref]
