August Seebeck (1770-1831) was a German physicist best known for his discovery of the thermoelectric effect, which is the generation of an electromotive force (voltage) in a conductor when there is a temperature difference between two points. This phenomenon later became known as the Seebeck effect, and it is foundational to the fields of thermoelectrics and power generation.
