The aim of this paper is to present the achievements of Lewis Bowen. The main focus is on the problem of isomorphism of Bernoulli actions of countable non-amenable groups which he solved brilliantly in the remarkable papers [\textit{L. P. Bowen}, Ann. Math. (2) 171, No. 2, 1387--1400 (2010; Zbl 1201.37007); \textit{L. Bowen}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 23, No. 1, 217--245 (2010; Zbl 1201.37005)]. Here two invariants were introduced, which led to many developments. One of them is the extension of the definition of sofic measure theoretic entropy. There are also nice implications related to spectral theory.
