Warren Bicknell Mori (born August 8, 1959) is an American computational plasma physicist and a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
[1] He was awarded the 2020 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics[2] for his contributions to the theory and computer simulations of non-linear processes in plasma-based acceleration using kinetic theory,[3][4] as well as for his research in relativistically intense lasers and beam-plasma interactions.
He then went to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and obtained a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in 1984 and 1987 respectively.
[10] Mori is a fellow of the American Physical Society[11] and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
[12][2] Mori was awarded the 2020 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics for "leadership in and pioneering contributions to the theory and kinetic simulations of nonlinear processes in plasma-based acceleration, and relativistically intense laser and beam plasma interactions".
