Patrice Ossona de Mendez: Local limits and connectivity
Patrice Ossona de Mendez is a French mathematician specializing in topological graph theory who works as a researcher at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Paris. With Pierre Rosenstiehl, he is editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Combinatorics, a position he has held since 2009.
Ossona de Mendez was born December 13, 1966, in Paris. He represented France in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1985, earning a bronze medal there. He studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure from 1986 until 1990, and completed his Ph.D. in 1994 from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences. His dissertation, jointly supervised by Rosenstiehl and Hubert de Fraysseix, concerned bipolar orientations of graphs. He has worked at CNRS since 1995, and earned a habilitation in 2009 from the University of Bordeaux 1.
With Jaroslav Nesetril he is the author of the book Sparsity: Graphs, Structures, and Algorithms (Algorithms and Combinatorics 28, Springer, 2012), concerning the properties and applications of different types of sparse graph. This book was included in ACM Computing Reviews list of Notable Books and Articles of 2012.
