Robert Moody is a mathematician whose professional life has revolved around the mathematics of symmetry and long-range order. Moody studied mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Toronto, before joining the faculty at the University of Saskatchewan and, later, the University of Alberta. He is internationally recognized for his co-discovery of what are known as the Kac-Moody algebras, one of the significant advances in mathematics in the latter half of the twentieth century. His enduring pursuit of black and white photography, with its emphasis on simplicity, form and abstraction, is a visual complement to his mathematics. He is a winner of the Wigner Medal and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. He makes his residence in Victoria, British Columbia.
