KUBO, Ryogo was born on February 15, 1920 in Tokyo. Son of Tokuji Kubo and Sei Terada.
Tokyo Imperial University and Tokyo University.
In the early 1950s, Kubo transformed research into the linear response properties of near-equilibrium condensed-matter systems, in particular the understanding of electron transport and conductivity, through the Kubo formalism, a Green"s function approach to linear response theory for quantum systems In 1977 Ryogo Kubo was awarded the Boltzmann Medal for his contributions to the theory of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, and to the theory of fluctuation phenomena. He is cited particularly for his work in the establishment of the basic relations between transport coefficients and equilibrium time correlation functions: relations with which his name is generally associated.
American Academy, of Arts and Sciences since 1973. Japan Academy since 1982.
Married Chizuko Kamijo in 1946, one son two daughter.
