Wikipedia description:

Torsten Ludvig Thunberg (30 June 1873 – 4 December 1952) was a Swedish physiologist and biochemist who worked on metabolic oxidation, including examinations of key steps in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, producing insights that were later elucidated by Hans A. Krebs. He was a professor of physiology at the University of Lund. The Thunberg grill illusion, also called the thermal grill illusion was discovered by him. The so-called Thunberg tube for examining biological redox reactions was also named after him.
