Short description: French mathematician (1946–2012)

Jean-Louis Loday (12 January 1946 – 6 June 2012) was a French mathematician who worked on cyclic homology and who introduced Leibniz algebras (sometimes called Loday algebras) and Zinbiel algebras.[1] He occasionally used the pseudonym Guillaume William Zinbiel, formed by reversing the last name of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

Education and career

Loday studied at Lycée Louis-le-Grand and at École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Strasbourg in 1975 under the supervision of Max Karoubi, with a dissertation titled K-Théorie algébrique et représentations de groupes. He went on to become a senior scientist at CNRS and a member of the Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research (IRMA) at the University of Strasbourg.
