Jean-Louis Verdier was a student of Alexandre Grothendieck. He introduced, at the suggestion of Grothendieck, the notions of derived categories and triangulated categories in his thesis.
On derived categories of abelian categories and on triangulated categories:
He also worked on Verdier duality of derived categories of abelian sheaves:
