Born in New Zealand in 1871, Rutherford came to Cambridge in 1895, where he did notable research on the electrical properties of gases. This lead to his appointment as Professor at McGill University in Montreal, where he carried out fundamental investigations on radioactivity, which he continued at the University of Manchester. Here he first put forward the nuclear structure of the atom with which his name is inseparably connected. At Cambridge, as head of the Cavendish Laboratory from 1919 to his death in 1937, he conducted and inspired work on the properties and disruption of the atomic nucleus which ushered in a new era in physics.
