 Christopher Jarzynski

Christopher Jarzynski is a physicist known for his contributions to the fields of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. He is particularly recognized for his work on the Jarzynski equality, which relates nonequilibrium processes to equilibrium free energy differences. This groundbreaking result has implications for understanding how systems behave away from equilibrium, and it has applications in various areas, including molecular biology, chemistry, and physics. Jarzynski has published numerous papers and has received several awards for his research.
