Biography:
Erol Gelenbe a Fellow of IEEE, ACM and IET (UK), is the Dennis Gabor Chair Professor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College . He introduced performance models based on diffusion approximations, invented the Random Neural Network Model and G-Networks and developed a database driven discrete event simulation method. These methods were integrated into commercial software packages such as QNAP for Performance Engineering and FLEXSIM for the simulation of manufacturing systems. 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 protocol. 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 Grand Prix France Telecom of the French Academy of Sciences (1996), ACM’s SIGMETRICS Life-Time Achievement Award http://www.sigmetrics.org/achievementaward-2008.shtml , the UK’s IET Oliver Lodge Medal http://eandt.theiet.org/magazine/2011/01/profile-prof-gelenbe.cfm 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 National Science Academies of Hungary and Poland, and the Science Academy of Istanbul, 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 Technology, the ACM Trans. on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems, the IEEE Trans. on Nano-Bio Systems, the Proceedings of the Royal Society and the Computer Journal.
Erol coordinates the EU FPC ICT-8 Project NEMESYS (2012-2015) on Mobile Network Security, and his other funded research projects are EPSRC ECROPS (2013-2016) on Energy Savings and Harvesting in ICT, a MoD/DSTL Project on Energy Savings in Digital Cities (2012-2016), EU FP7 PANACEA (2013-2016) on Self-Organising Cloud Computing, and the Smart Networks at the Edge project of the European Institute of Technology. A Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communication Society, his recent publications can be found at http://san.ee.ic.ac.uk and http://sa.ee.ic.ac.uk . Recent/Future Conference Chairships & PCs include: General Chair IEEE NCCA (Dec 3-5, 2012) https://sites.google.com/site/ieeencca2012 , Co-General Chair IEEE HPCC 2013 http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/hpcc2013/ , PerNEM Workshop Co-Chair since 2012 (PERCOM Conference), IEEE MASCOTS 2013 TPC Co-Chair , http://ieee-ssci.org ICAC2013, June 26-28, 2013. He is an associate editor of Acta Informatica, IEEE Networks, ACM Ubiquity, Performance Evaluation, IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, Theory and Applications of Informatics, Telecommunication Systems, and InfoCommunications Journal.
