Thomas Graham

Thomas Graham (1805-1869) was a celebrated Scottish chemist, born in Glasgow, where in 1830 he became professor of Chemistry in the Andersonian University. Seven years later he was appointed to a similar chair in University College, London. In 1855, he resigned his professorship on succeeding Herschel as Master of the Mint. His name is honourably associated with important researches relating to the diffusion of gases and liquids, and with contributions to the atomic theory of matter.
