Scientist whose name is a unit, both forward and backward (3)

I believe the answer is:

ohm

(Other definitions for ohm that I've seen before include "measure of resistance" , "Unit of electrical resistance (3)" , "Physicist" , "physical unit" , "SI unit of electrical resistance" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
