Kyozi Kawasaki: "For his contribution to our understanding of dynamical phenomena in condensed matter systems, in particular the mode-coupling theory of fluids near criticality, and nonlinear problems, such as critical phenomena in sheared fluids and phase separations."

Kyozi Kawasaki retired in March 2001 from Chubu University in Japan as a professor of natural sciences and mathematics, and 2001/2202 at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a Ulam Scholar.
