About

Philipp Hahn’s research focuses on the intersection of acoustofluidics and microrobotics, with a particular emphasis on the numerical simulation of acoustic radiation forces and torques for micro-particle manipulation. His major contributions include pioneering the first numerical simulation framework for calculating acoustic viscous torque on arbitrarily shaped micro-particles, a critical advancement for understanding and controlling particle rotation in lab-on-a-chip devices. His most cited work, "Acoustofluidics 19: Ultrasonic microrobotics in cavities" (72 citations), provides foundational insights into using acoustic fields for precise handling of cells and functionalized beads, establishing him as a key figure in the field. Additionally, his 2016 paper on micro-particle rotation (32 citations) demonstrates his ability to bridge theoretical modeling with practical applications, enabling more sophisticated microrobotic systems. Hahn’s work is highly impactful for researchers developing non-contact manipulation techniques, offering robust numerical tools that reduce reliance on experimental trial-and-error. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to advancing the precision and scalability of acoustic-based micro-manipulation, making him a valuable resource for students and engineers exploring ultrasonic microrobotics and particle dynamics.
