Yakov Sinai is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Dynamical systems and statistical mechanics (Abel Prize)
Sinai, a Russian-American mathematician of Jewish background, transformed the study of dynamical systems and statistical physics, introducing key ideas such as the 'Sinai billiard' and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy that link chaos to thermodynamics. Working in Moscow and later at Princeton, he built rigorous bridges between mathematics and physics. He received the Abel Prize in 2014.
