Warren Bicknell Mori (born August 8, 1959) is an American computational plasma physicist and a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.[1] He was awarded the 2020 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics[2] for his contributions to the theory and computer simulations of non-linear processes in plasma-based acceleration using kinetic theory,[3][4] as well as for his research in relativistically intense lasers and beam-plasma interactions.[5][6]
