Hahn's research focuses on computational systems biology and data science approaches for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and treatment, with over 170 peer-reviewed publications. His work includes developing physiological blood tests for ASD using metabolomics and machine learning, identifying autism subtypes through multimodal data analysis, and creating AI-driven tools for residential autism care optimization.

Recent publications highlight advancements in circadian rhythm analysis (2025), robust medical imaging classifiers (2024), and Alzheimer's disease subtyping (2024). His autism research spans biomarker discovery (2023), gastrointestinal-autism connections (2022), and maternal metabolite analysis (2020-2021).

• Scientific Honors:
  • European Academy of Sciences and Arts (2024)
  • BMES Fellow (2022)
  • AIChE Fellow (2020)
  • AIMBE Fellow (2013)
  • CAST Outstanding Young Researcher (2010)
  • Multiple journal awards (2004-2007)
