János Pach (born May 3, 1954) is a mathematician and computer scientist working in the fields of combinatorics and discrete and computational geometry.
Pach was born and grew up in Hungary. He comes from a noted academic family: his father, was a well known historian, and his uncle Pál Turán was one of the best known Hungarian mathematicians.
Pach received his Candidate degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, in 1983, where his advisor was Miklós Simonovits.
Since 1977, he has been affiliated with the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
He was Research Professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU (since 1986), Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at City College, CUNY (1992-2011), and Neilson Professor at Smith College (2008-2009).
In 2008, he joined École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as Professor of Mathematics.
He was the program chair for the International Symposium on Graph Drawing in 2004 and Symposium on Computational Geometry in 2015. With Kenneth L. Clarkson and Günter Ziegler, he is co-editor-in-chief of the journal Discrete and Computational Geometry, and he serves on the editorial boards of several other journals including Combinatorica, SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Computational Geometry, Graphs and Combinatorics, Central European Journal of Mathematics, and Moscow Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory.
