Abstract

Rod Downey took up a lectureship in mathematics at the Victoria University of Wellington in 1986. At the time he was a promising young researcher with a dozen papers to his name. Thirty years on, the dozen has mushroomed into 250-plus as he has developed into a world leader in his field who has made a profound contribution to the mathematical research environment both internationally and in New Zealand. This article briefly outlines his exceptional career.
