Constantino Tsallis is a Brazilian physicist known for his work in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. He is best known for developing Tsallis statistics, which generalizes the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics framework. Tsallis statistics introduces a parameter \( q \) that allows for a broader range of probability distributions and has been used to describe systems with long-range interactions, non-equilibrium phenomena, and other complex systems.
