About Sir Tony Hoare
Computer scientist Sir Tony Hoare FRS FREng is well-known for developing the sorting algorithm Quicksort in 1959/1960, which is a systematic method for placing the elements of an array in order. It is the most commonly used algorithm for sorting due to its speed, especially when compared with its related competitors. Quicksort is a comparison sort and sometimes referred to as “partition-exchange sort”.

In addition to Quicksort, Sir Tony has a list of other achievements under his belt; Quickselect, Hoare logic, Communicating Sequential, Processes and Structured programming to name a few. In addition, he has won numerous awards and honours based on his brilliant work within the Computer Science field! This includes SIX Honourary Doctorates over the years and his Knighthood back in 2000. He is now the principal researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University.
