Sami Erol Gelenbe (born 22 August 1945, Istanbul), a Turkish and French computer scientist, electronic engineer and applied mathematician, pioneered the field of Computer System and Network Performance. [3] [4] Currently Professor in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (2017- ), [5] he is also a visiting professor at King's College London, Honorary Researcher in the I3S Laboratory (CNRS, University of Côte d'Azur, Nice), and the Abraham de Moivre Laboratory (CNRS, Imperial College). [6] Fellow of several National Academies, he Chairs the Informatics Section of Academia Europaea since 2023. [7] His previous Professorial Chairs include the University of Liège (1974-1979), University Paris-Saclay (1979-1986), University Paris Descartes (1986-2005), NJIT (1991–93), ECE Chair at Duke University (1993-1998), University Chair Professor and Director of EECS, University of Central Florida (1998-2003), and Dennis Gabor Professor and Head of Intelligent Systems and Networks, Imperial College (2003-2019).

Erol Gelenbe is the son of Yusuf Âli Gelenbe and Maria Sacchet Gelenbe. His father was a descendant of the 18th-century Ottoman mathematician Gelenbevi Ismail Efendi and nephew of the Ottoman Sheyhulislam Mehmet Cemaleddin Efendi. Erol graduated from Ankara Koleji and the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, where he won the K.K. Clarke Research Award for his undergraduate thesis on "partial flux switching magnetic memory systems". [9] Awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, he completed a master's degree and PhD thesis degree at the Polytechnic University on "Stochastic automata with structural restrictions" under Prof. Edward J. Smith. [10]
He then joined the University of Michigan as an assistant professor, and on leave from Michigan, he founded the Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems research group at INRIA (France), and was a visiting associate professor at the university of Paris 13 University. In 1971 he was elected to a chair in Computer Science at the University of Liège in Belgium, but was appointed in 1974, joining Professor Danny Ribbens while remaining a research director at INRIA. He was awarded a Doctorat d'État ès Sciences Mathématiques (1973) from Sorbonne University, with a thesis on "Modèlisation des systèmes informatiques", under Jacques-Louis Lions. He remained a close friend of Professor Ribbens and of the University of Liège, but moved to the Paris-Sud 11 University in 1979, where he co-founded the Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique and its PhD Program, before joining Paris Descartes University in 1986 as founding director of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Informatique.
Gelenbe was appointed New Jersey State Endowed Chair Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (1991-1993). He joined Duke University in 1993 and was appointed to the Nello L. Teer Chair Professorship, and as Chairperson of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. In 1998 he moved to the University of Central Florida, and founded the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, [11] creating the Harris Corporation Engineering Centre [12] In 2003 he was offered the Dennis Gabor Chair at Imperial College London [13] [14] as Head of Intelligent Systems and Networks. After Brexit, he was appointed professor in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics (IITIS) [15] of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2017, where he was an Academy Fellow since 2013. [16] He retired from Imperial in 2019, and continues as professor at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, as Coordinator or Principal Investigator of EU H2020 Research and Innovation Project SerIoT (2017-2021) [17] on the security of the Internet of Things, the EU H2020 Research and Innovation Programmes SDK4ED (2018-2020) and of IoTAC (2020-2023). Active in several National Academies, he Chairs the Informatics Section of Academia Europaea since 2023, [7] served as SAPEA Advisor on Cybersecurity for the EU High Level Group (2017), Member of the Fake-News Study Group of the All-European Academies (ALLEA, 2020–2021), [18] leader of the Science Communication (Diffusion des Sciences) Study Group (2020–21) of the Belgian Royal Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and Study Group leader on "Research to Innovation in Europe" (2022) [19] of the Association of European Academies of Applied Sciences and Engineering.

The random neural network (RNN) is a mathematical representation of an interconnected network of neurons or cells which exchange spiking signals. It was invented by Erol Gelenbe and is linked to the G-network model of queueing networks as well as to Gene Regulatory Network models. Each cell state is represented by an integer whose value rises when the cell receives an excitatory spike and drops when it receives an inhibitory spike. The spikes can originate outside the network itself, or they can come from other cells in the networks. Cells whose internal excitatory state has a positive value are allowed to send out spikes of either kind to other cells in the network according to specific cell-dependent spiking rates. The model has a mathematical solution in steady-state which provides the joint probability distribution of the network in terms of the individual probabilities that each cell is excited and able to send out spikes. Computing this solution is based on solving a set of non-linear algebraic equations whose parameters are related to the spiking rates of individual cells and their connectivity to other cells, as well as the arrival rates of spikes from outside the network. The RNN is a recurrent model, i.e. a neural network that is allowed to have complex feedback loops.

In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a G-network is an open network of G-queues first introduced by Erol Gelenbe as a model for queueing systems with specific control functions, such as traffic re-routing or traffic destruction, as well as a model for neural networks. A G-queue is a network of queues with several types of novel and useful customers:
In probability theory, a product-form solution is a particularly efficient form of solution for determining some metric of a system with distinct sub-components, where the metric for the collection of components can be written as a product of the metric across the different components. Using capital Pi notation a product-form solution has algebraic form
