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.[1] With Pierre Rosenstiehl, he is editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Combinatorics, a position he has held since 2009.[1][2]

Ossona de Mendez was born December 13, 1966, in Paris.[1] He represented France in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1985, earning a bronze medal there.[3] He studied at the École Normale Supérieure from 1986 until 1990, and completed his Ph.D. in 1994 from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.[1] His dissertation, jointly supervised by Rosenstiehl and Hubert de Fraysseix, concerned bipolar orientations of graphs.[4] He has worked at CNRS since 1995, and earned a habilitation in 2009 from the University of Bordeaux 1.[1]

With Jaroslav Nešetřil 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.[5][6] This book was included in ACM Computing Reviews list of Notable Books and Articles of 2012.[7]
