Sir Thomas Ranken Lyle FRS[1] (26 August 1860 – 31 March 1944)[2][3] was an Irish-Australian mathematical physicist, radiologist, educator, and rugby player.
Lyle was born and educated in Ireland before emigrating to Australia to take up a professorship at the University of Melbourne. There he was a pioneer in the use of X-rays as a medical tool. The Thomas Ranken Lyle Medal is awarded in his name to honour Australian achievements in Physics and Mathematics.
In his earlier years in Ireland he was a rugby union forward of some note, who played club rugby for Dublin University and international rugby for Ireland.[4]
