Owen Willans Richardson (1879–1959) was a British physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1928 for his work on thermionic emission, which led to Richardson's law. He studied at Cambridge under J.J. Thomson and later held professorships at Princeton and King's College London, contributing significantly to the understanding of electron physics and quantum theory.
