As is often the case, the East and the West recognize different people as the "father" of a modern field of knowledge.
In the West, John Dalton (1766 - 1844) is generally accepted as the father of modern atomic theory.
In the East, Roger Joseph Boscovich, S.J (1711-1787) is accepted as the father of modern atomic theory.
Of course, about 430 BC the Greek philosopher Democritus said that any one thing was made up of tiny elements of all other things but that it was made up mostly of the elements of the thing they appeared to be. For example, bread was made up tiny elements of water, blood, stone, metal, etc but was mostly made up of tiny bread elements which is why we see it as bread, so the idea has been around a long time.
