Wikipedia description:

Allan MacLeod Cormack (February 23, 1924 – May 7, 1998) was a South African American physicist and Professor of Physics at Tufts University who won the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (along with Godfrey Hounsfield) for his work on X-ray computed tomography (CT), a significant and unusual achievement since Cormack did not hold a doctoral degree in any scientific field.
