José Fernando Ferreira Mendes

José F.F. Mendes (born in Porto on June 22, 1965) is a Portuguese physicist (statistical physics) and at University of Aveiro (Portugal).

In 2004 Mendes was awarded by Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian with the prize "Gulbenkian Ciência 2004".

José Mendes (see origin of Mendes name) is best known because of the book "" (co-author with Sergey Dorogovtsev) published in 2003 by Oxford University Press,

:"This book is the first technical text on the currently fashionable field of complex networks. It represents an attempt to review the astonishing progress made in this subject during recent years, both from a theoretical and empirical point of view." - Marian Boguñá

and is one of the most highly respected references in the field of small-world network and Complex network.

:"Professors Dorogovtsev and Mendes are well known for their important contributions in this field of research ..." -www.unifr.ch/econophysics

:"This book is the first technical text on the currently fashionable filed of complex networksI strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this new and interdisciplinary field of research." --Journal of Statistical Physics

:"Evolution of Networks offers an excellent foundation from which the fast-paced field can be approached with confidence. It would be an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in networks."--Physics Today
