    William Thomson was a Scottish engineer, mathematician, and physicist who studied at the University of Cambridge and Glaslow. He taught at the University of Glasglow between 1846 and 1899. Some of his key contributions included measuring electricity, developing the Niagara Falls power station, creating the absolute temperature scale, publishing works on heat and electromagnetic theory, inventing the transatlantic telegraph cable and compass, and establishing the Kelvin temperature scale based on absolute zero. In 1902, he constructed one of the first atomic models.
