Met Nigel at my first day at Imperial, when he welcomed us all at the Centre for Environmental Technology during the Inaugural lecture as the Director of the 90/91 Master’s Degree. I could not believe my eyes when, during the class weekend away at Silwood Park after a busy day, in the evening at the pub we found him drafting beer to all of us, knowing each one of us by name as if he had known us all for centuries. All my teachers have shaped my course one way or another, but Nigel had a particular trait that moved many of us to the realms of possibilities and incredible success - he believed in each one of us as a being a remarkable, unique, special and talented human being. Whenever I needed help, he would be there, whenever I needed a listening ear, he would listen and understand, and whenever I did not know which door to open, Nigel would offer me the key to the right one. I could write pages and pages as a tribute to Nigel – but it is actually best if I simply say a deep heartfelt …Thank you.
