Introduction[edit]

As far as I know (and I've read a lot of his articles), his main contribution to the physical community is about Thermodynamics.^[1]^[2] Saying contributions to "Mechanical engineering" and "Nuclear engineering" is generic and quite misleading. If we don't want to repeat "thermodynamicist known for his contributions to Thermodynamics", I'd rather put a full stop after "thermodynamicist" or write something else (in fact, he is not well known in the physical community, and often even not much appreciated, although I hope his fame will grow and his work be known in a deeper way).
