Famous Scholars: Ernest Rutherford In 1895, JJ Thomson, discoverer of the electron, appointed a young Ernest Rutherford as one of his first graduate students at the Cavendish Laboratory. In 1898 Rutherford left Cambridge and spent the next twenty years establishing a world-class reputation with his pioneering work on the structure of the atom. In 1919 he was the obvious choice to take over from Thompson at the Cavendish, where he created an outstanding team of scientists who furthered his work in nuclear physics. Many groundbreaking discoveries emerged from the Cavendish under Rutherford's direction, in particular Chadwick's work on the neutron. In 1932, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton first split the atom.
