Howard Reiss

Howard Reiss is a notable figure in the field of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which explores how systems behave away from equilibrium, where traditional thermodynamic rules might not apply. His work focuses on understanding the energy and material flows in complex systems, providing insights into processes like chemical reactions and biological functions. Reiss contributed significantly to the theoretical framework that helps explain how systems evolve and change over time, emphasizing the role of probability and statistical mechanics in understanding real-world phenomena that are not perfectly balanced. His research enriches our understanding of dynamic processes across various scientific disciplines.
