Study of thermodynamics gave rise to many concepts in information theory and statistics, but I wouldn't say that there is any direct connection per se between thermodynamics and any field where statistics or information theory are applicable. And the reasoning behind the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was... quite innovative.

Thermodynamics can absolutely be studied through both a statistical mechanics and an information theory lens, and many physicists have found this to be quite productive and enlightening. Especially when it gets to tricky cases involving entropy, like Maxwell's Demon and Landauer's Eraser, one struggles not to do so.
