Katja Lindenberg (born 1941)[1] is an Ecuadorian-American theoretical chemical physicist whose research concerns statistical mechanics, stochastic processes, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and quantum thermodynamics.
She is Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chancellor's Associates Endowed Chair Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego.
West, Lindenberg authored the book The Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Open and Closed Systems (Wiley/VCH, 1990).
[6] Lindenberg was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1992, after a nomination from the APS Division of Chemical Physics, "for her fundamental contributions to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and the theory of stochastic processes toward the understanding of the evolution of coupled nonlinear systems of importance in physical applications".
[8] In 2017, Jagiellonian University gave Lindenberg the Plus ratio quam vis medal.
