He is the co-discover of Kac–Moody algebra,[1] a Lie algebra, usually infinite-dimensional, that can be defined through a generalized root system. "Almost simultaneously in 1967, Victor Kac in the USSR and Robert Moody in Canada developed what was to become Kac-Moody algebra. Kac and Moody noticed that if Wilhelm Killing's conditions were relaxed, it was still possible to associate to the Cartan matrix a Lie algebra which, necessarily, would be infinite dimensional." - A.J. Coleman[2] Born in Great Britain, he received a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in 1962 from the University of Saskatchewan, a Master of Arts in Mathematics in 1964 from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1966 from the University of Toronto. In 1966, he joined the Department of Mathematics as an assistant professor in the University of Saskatchewan. In 1970, he was appointed an associate professor and a professor in 1976. In 1989, he joined the University of Alberta as a professor in the Department of Mathematics. In 1999, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.[3] In 1980, he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1996 Moody and Kac were co-winners of the Wigner Medal.[4] Selected works
