Hi there!
My name is Shaibu Ibrahim. (Call me Shai, but I am not shy).
I am a Senior Electrical Engineer with over a decade of combined experience in power generation (both in thermal and renewables), transmission, and distribution. In my free/leisure time, I love sharing memories with my family, playing soccer, watching comedy, volunteering, writing blogs, and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Active VOLUNTEERING: IEEE & CIGRE
Giving back to the community in diverse ways is not a payback but a service to humanity now for a better future. This future belongs to the next generation of professionals in academia and industry. I am super excited to give back (to students and young professionals) and learn from a global force for good.
Volunteering with the IEEE Young Professional Climate and Sustainability Sub-Committee (CSSC) has brought me closer to IEEE and some brilliant minds.
Below is a list of some of my active volunteerism.
- CIGRE Working Group (WG) C3.25: Ecodesign Methods for the Power System – Contributor
- IEEE Standard P3575: Guide for Construction of Digital Twin Substation - Contributor
