About

Lars Hahn is an emerging research leader in the field of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) and sustainable construction materials, with work that sits at the intersection of advanced textile engineering and civil infrastructure. His research focuses on developing non-metallic, fiber-based reinforcement structures as corrosion-resistant alternatives to traditional steel reinforcement in concrete, a critical innovation for improving both the longevity and environmental footprint of modern buildings. Hahn's most influential contribution, a 2022 review of textile reinforcement structures for concrete applications, has garnered 69 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. His subsequent work explores cutting-edge directions including biologically inspired, load-adapted 3D textile architectures that maximize material efficiency by drawing on principles found in nature. He has also championed robot-assisted manufacturing technologies for producing complex non-metallic reinforcement systems, addressing the construction industry's alarming contribution of approximately 37% of global CO₂ emissions. With over 100 citations accumulated in just a few years, Hahn's research is gaining significant traction among engineers and architects seeking lightweight, sustainable structural solutions. His trajectory suggests a researcher poised to shape the next generation of eco-conscious construction practices.
