Biography

Imen Jendoubi received her Ph.D. degree with honors in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University, Canada in 2023. Prior to that, she obtained a Master’s degree in Energy Engineering (obtained with honors) from Ecole Polytechnique Montréal, Canada in 2019. She also holds a National Engineering Diploma in Advanced Sciences and Technologies with distinction from the National School of Advanced Science and Technology and the Preparatory Institute for Scientific and Technical Studies in Tunisia, where she was awarded the presidential prize for excellence in engineering at the national level. As part of her engineering studies, she joined RWTH Aachen University in Germany as an exchange student in 2017. Her fields of expertise include machine learning, optimization methods, and mathematical programming and simulation with a focus on their application in planning and operating low-carbon networks considering operational flexibilities and smart grid technologies.
