Ilya Prigogine (1917–2003) was a Belgian physical chemist and Nobel laureate best known for his work on Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics and complex systems. He made significant contributions to the understanding of thermodynamic processes far from equilibrium, introducing concepts such as dissipative structures, which are ordered structures that arise in systems that are not in equilibrium. Prigogine's work challenged traditional views of thermodynamics, which were primarily concerned with systems at equilibrium.
