Mark EveringhamLecturer

Despite his relative youth, Mark Everingham was a computer scientist of very considerable achievement who would undoubtedly have gone on to become one of the dominant international figures in the field of computer vision. At all times, he set himself the highest of standards and expected nothing less from those around him. Yet he was an excellent colleague, generous with his counsel and always ready to acknowledge and encourage the work of others. The depth of respect among his peers for his intellectual qualities can be gauged by the number of them who exposed their planned papers and presentations to his relentlessly probing and comprehensive scrutiny, secure in the knowledge that if their work passed muster with such a stern and demanding critic, it was virtually guaranteed to be well received by the scientific community.
