Russian-Belgian physical chemist (1917–2003)
Ilya Prigogine was a Russian-Belgian chemist who made groundbreaking contributions to understanding how systems far from equilibrium—like living organisms and weather patterns—change and organize themselves over time. His work earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and fundamentally influenced how scientists think about complexity, time, and order in the natural world.

Viscount Ilya Romanovich Prigogine (/prɪˈɡoʊʒiːn/; Russian: Илья Романович Пригожин; 25 January [O.S. 12 January] 1917 – 28 May 2003) was a Belgian physical chemist, noted for his work on dissipative structures, complex systems, and irreversibility.
Prigogine's work most notably earned him the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his contributions to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures”, as well as the Francqui Prize in 1955, and the Rumford Medal in 1976.
