On 'Multicritical points in magnets and fluids: a review of some novel states of matter'.
For his seminal contributions to wetting transitions, dislocation melting and criticality of ionic solutions and many other topics in Statistical Mechanics.
In the field of physics for pathbreaking developments culminating in the general theory of the critical behavior at transitions between the different thermodynamic phases of matter.
