Ibrahim Abada

Ibrahim Abada is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management & Technology, specializing in energy economics and applied mathematics. His research focuses on the impact of decentralization and digitalization in energy markets, particularly examining algorithm-driven market behaviors and regulatory challenges. He holds a PhD from the University of Nanterre, an MSc in theoretical physics, and an engineering degree from École Polytechnique, France.

His career includes roles at EDF, IFP Energies Nouvelles, and ENGIE, where he contributed to strategic consulting and energy market modeling. Abada’s work analyzes risks like algorithmic collusion in power markets and explores solutions for energy transition challenges such as renewable integration and market design. His publications emphasize mathematical programming, data science, and game theory to address energy policy questions.

Key research themes include energy communities’ viability, power market incompleteness, and the unintended consequences of digitalization. He advocates for robust regulatory frameworks to mitigate market distortions arising from algorithmic sophistication and market power dynamics.
