Erol Gelenbe a Fellow
of IEEE, ACM and IET (UK), is a Professor in the Electrical
and Electronic Engineering at Imperial
College . He
introduced performance models based on diffusion approximations, invented the Random Neural Network Model,
as well as the G-Networks, solvable performance models incorporating control functions,
such as work removal and load transfer and balancing, and developed the concept for FLEXSIM, an object oriented discrete event simulation approach
for flexible
manufacturing systems .
These methods were integrated into commercial software such as
QNAP for the Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems and Networks, and FLEXSIM.
His designs include the
SYCOMORE multiprocessor packet switch, the fibre optics random access network
XANTHOS, the first fully implemented Software Defined Network CPN (Cognitive
Packet Network) and its adaptive routing protocola. He has contributed optimal
protocols for random access communications, and optimum check-points for
databases.
He currently works on the
interaction between Energy Consumption and Quality of Service in ICT, and on
the security of Mobile Networks. His
awards include the
In Memoriam Dennis Gabor Award 2013 ,
the 2010 IET Oliver Lodge Medal ,
2008 SIGMETRICS Life-Time Achievement ,
the 1996 Grand Prix France Telecom of the French Academy of Sciences and the Parlar Science Foundation Award (Turkey,
1994). He was made an Officer of the
Order of Merit (France), a
Grand Officer of the Order of the Star (Italy), and a Commander of Merit of
Italy.
He was elected to the French National Academy of
Engineering , the Science Academies of Hungary and Poland, and the Science Academy of Turkey .
He has received Honoris Causa doctorates from the Universities of
Liege, Belgium , Roma-Tor Vergata,
and Bogazici ( Istanbul
), and graduated some 60 PhD students.
His recent papers appear in the Physical Review, the Communications of
the ACM, the ACM/IEEE Trans. on Bioinformatics, the ACM Trans. on Internet
