Erol Gelenbe is known for impacting the science, engineering and industrial exploitation of the field of computer systems and network performance evaluation and optimization, and for mentoring numerous PhD students and post-doctoral fellows.

He currently works on the performance of cyber-physical systems and on the efficient management of energy and Green IT. His work has also directly impacted the development of industrial modeling and simulation tools such as QNAP and FLEXSIM. He was elected a Fellow of IEEE (1986) and of ACM (2001).

In 2008 he won the ACM's SIGMETRICS Life-Time Achievement Award, and the UK's Institution of Engineering and Technology awarded him the Oliver Lodge Medal in 2010. He was awarded honorary degrees from the University of Rome II (Italy), the University of Liege (Belgium) and by Bogazici University (Istanbul, Turkey). He holds the Dennis Gabor Professorship at Imperial College since 2003, and was elected to the Science Academy of Turkey, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea and the French National Academy of Engineering.

His new research projects for the period 2012-2015 are supported by the UK EPSRC, the EU FP7 Programme, and the UK MoD. The recent ECROPS fundamental research project on very low power and renewable power proposal submitted with colleagues in Spain, Turkey and France was ranked first by the referees of the European CHIST-ERA programme. He will also be coordinating the new EU FP7 Nemesys Project that addresses the security of mobile applications and networks.
