Thomas Martin Lowry (; 26 October 1874 – 2 November 1936) was an English physical chemist who developed the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory simultaneously with and independently of Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and was a founder-member and president (1928–1930) of the Faraday Society. ==Biography== Lowry was born in Low Moor, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in a Cornish family.
Lowry who was the minister of the Wesleyan Church in Aldershot from 1892 to 1919.
From 1896 to 1913 Lowry was assistant to Armstrong, and between 1904 and 1913 worked as lecturer in chemistry at the Westminster Training College.
For this service, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire and the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus. ==Research== In 1898, Lowry noted the change in optical rotation on nitro-d-camphor with time and invented the term mutarotational to describe this phenomenon.

In 1913, he was appointed head of the chemical department in Guy’s Hospital Medical and became the first teacher of chemistry in a Medical School to be made a University Professor, at the University of London.
In 1914 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
Lowry who was the minister of the Wesleyan Church in Aldershot from 1892 to 1919.
From 1920 till his death, Lowry served as the Chair of Physical Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.
This led in 1923 to his formulation of the protonic definition of acids and bases, now known as Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, independently of the work by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted.

His 1935 monograph on "Optical Rotatory Power" (1935) has long been regarded as a standard work on the subject. ==References== 1874 births 1936 deaths English physical chemists Scientists from Bradford Fellows of the Royal Society Academics of the University of Cambridge
