Sir Edward Victor Appleton GBE KCB FRS[1] (6 September 1892 – 21 April 1965) was an English physicist,[4][5] Nobel Prize winner (1947) and pioneer in radiophysics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his investigations of the physics of the upper atmosphere especially for the discovery of the so-called Appleton layer".[6] He studied, and was also employed as a lab technician, at Bradford College from 1909 to 1911.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1947 for his seminal work proving the existence of the ionosphere during experiments carried out in 1924.
