Ilya Prigogine (b. 1917 in Moscow, Russia) is Director of the International Solvay Institutes of Chemistry and Physics, Brussels, Belgium, and of the 1. Prigogine Center for Statistical Mechanics and Complex Systems, The University of Texas at Austin. He is a Belgian citizen. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 for his contributions to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures.  

Ilya Prigogine has published more than 600 papers. He is a member of over 60 national academic and professional organizations. To date, he has 45 honorary degrees. He was made Viscount in 1989 in Belgium. Five international institutes bear his name. 

His main monographs include Introduction to Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes (Charles C. Thomas Publisher, 1954), The Molecular Theory of Solutions (with A. Bellemans and V. Mathot, North-Holland Publishing Co., 1957), Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics (John Wiley Sons, 1962), Order Out of Chaos (Bantam, 1984), From Bein to Becoming (W. H. Freeman Co., 1980), and The End of Certainty (The Free Press, 1996). 

A recent dictionary of scientists lists you as a Nobel laureate in physics.
