Education

edit

Hahn earned his undergraduate degree at the RWTH Aachen in Germany. During his undergraduate studies, he spent one year as a Fulbright Scholar at Texas A&M University.[3] He moved to the University of Texas at Austin for his graduate studies, where he completed a master's degree and a doctorate. His doctoral research focused on the analysis of nonlinear systems for the purpose of identifying which parts of a model contribute the most to control-relevant behavior and need to be retained during a model reduction procedure.[2] His doctoral studies were followed by post-doctoral research at the Chair of Process Systems Engineering at RWTH Aachen where his research focused on studying the effect of uncertainty in parameters on controlled nonlinear systems.[4][5]

Research and career

edit

In 2003, Hahn joined Texas A&M University as an assistant professor, and was later promoted to the rank of associate professor (2009). His research at Texas A&M focused on the development and application of systems analysis approaches to biological networks with a particular emphasis on signaling pathways involved in inflammation.[6] In 2012, Hahn moved to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a professor and became the head of the Biomedical Engineering Department in 2013.[7] His research focus at Rensselaer was on the application of systems concepts to the life sciences with a specific emphasis on the pathophysiology of autism.[8][9][10][11]

Hahn won the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) CAST Division Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2010,[12] was named a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2013,[13] an AIChE Fellow in 2020,[14] and a Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Fellow in 2022.[15] He was elected a Trustee of Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering in 2014,[16] served on the IEEE CSS Board of Governors in 2016,[17] and was the Chair of the BMES Council of Chairs in 2024.[18] He was elected to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2024 and formally inaugurated in 2025.[19]

Hahn was an editor for the Journal of Process Control (2010–Present),[20] Control Engineering Practice (2007–present),[21] Automatica (2011 - 2014), Processes (2015 - 2020), Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing (2020–present),[22] Journal of Personalized Medicine (2022–present),[23] and Optimal Control: Applications and Methods (2020–2023).[24] He was conference chair for the 41st Northeast Bioengineering Conference[25] and the 7th International Conference on Foundations of Systems Biology in Engineering.[26][27]
