Lars Hahn studied mechanical engineering with a specialization in textile engineering at the TU Dresden, focusing on the field of fiber-reinforced composites. As a research assistant at the Institute for Textile Machinery and Textile High Performance Materials (ITM) of the TU Dresden, he worked on the development of novel textile reinforcement structures mainly for construction applications. As part of his dissertation, he addressed the development of an in situ coating and drying technology for high-performance textile reinforcement structures based on Carbon Fiber Heavy Tows (CFHT). Since October 2019, he has been leading the research group "Multiaxial Non-Crimp Fabrics and Textile Structures for Construction Applications" of ITM.
