Nigel Horspool is a computer scientist known for his work in the field of algorithms and string processing. He is particularly recognized for the **Horspool algorithm**, which is a string searching algorithm used for locating substrings within a larger string. The algorithm improves upon the naive string search by using a heuristic approach to skip sections of the text being searched, thus making it more efficient in many cases, especially with longer texts.
