Abstract

Prof. Erol Gelenbe PhD DSc FIEEE FACM FIET is a Member of the French National Academy of Engineering and of the Turkish Academy of Sciences. He holds the “Dennis Gabor Chair” and is Head of the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at Imperial College, where he conducts research on computer systems and networks. Author of over 140 journal papers, and several books published in English, French, Japanese and Korean, he has won numerous major international awards and honours for his work, including the ACM SIGMETRICS LifeTime Achievement Award, the Honoris Causa Doctorate from three universities: Liege in Belgium (2006), Bogazici in Istanbul (2004) and Rome in Italy (1996). His recent work includes path finding algorithms in noisy and uncertain conditions, the use of neural networks to control routing in computer networks, the analysis of decision making based on market based techniques, and modeling problems from the basic sciences including neural networks, gene regulatory networks, and models of chemical reactions. His research is currently funded by EPSRC and MoD with significant industry participation (BT, BAE Systems and QinetiQ), and by the EU FP7 programme. Appointed to his first chair at the age of 27 at the University of Liege in Belgium, he served as a research director at INRIA (France), with successive professorial posts at the University of Paris, Duke University where he was Department Head, and the University of Central Florida where he held a distinguished chair and was Associate Dean of Engineering. He is the Editor in Chief of The Computer Journal, and editor of the Proc. of the Royal Society A, Performance Evaluation, and Acta Informatica. He has graduated over 50 PhDs. 2009 International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications
