He changed his name from 'Kiss' to 'Kish' in 1998 while living in Sweden.

Laszlo Bela Kish (born László Béla Kiss) is a physicist and professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. His activities^[1] include a wide range of issues surrounding the physics and technical applications of stochastic fluctuations (noises) in physical, biological and technological systems, including nanotechnology. His earlier long-term positions include the Department of Experimental Physics, University of Szeged, Hungary (JATE, 1982–1997), and Angstrom Laboratory, Uppsala University, Sweden (1997–2001). During the same periods he had also conducted scientific research in short-term positions, such as at the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands, 1986, 1997),^[2] University of Cologne (Germany, 1989, 1990), National Research Laboratory of Metrology (Japan, 1991),^[3] University of Birmingham (United Kingdom, 1993), and others.
