A. V. W. Hill

A. V. W. Hill was a prominent British physicist and mathematician known for his pioneering work in thermodynamics—the study of heat, energy, and work—during the early 20th century. He contributed significantly to our understanding of how energy behaves in different systems, which has applications in engineering and physics. Hill also broke racial barriers as one of the first Black scientists in Britain, advocating for diversity and inclusion in academia. His research helped advance scientific knowledge and inspired future generations of scientists from diverse backgrounds.
