COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Dec. 12, 2008 – Juergen Hahn, assistant professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been named an “Outstanding Reviewer” by “Automatica,” the flagship journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
Each year the editors of “Automatica” identify a select group of reviewers from a pool of about 1,300 individuals who prepare reviews for the journal. This is Hahn’s third consecutive selection.
As a reviewer, Hahn is responsible for judging the novelty of the work and quality of the manuscripts that are being considered for publication by “Automatica.”
“You have been identified because of the thorough, competent and timely reviews you have prepared at the request of one or several of Automatica’s associate editors,” stated “Automatica” Editor-in-Chief Tamer Basar in a letter to Hahn. “The editorial process depends heavily on the quality and timeliness of the reviews collected, and I am indeed grateful to you for contributing to this process in the most professional and responsible way.”
Hahn has reviewed articles for 36 different journals since joining Texas A&M in 2003. His research focuses on the development of new systems analysis techniques and their application in systems biology as well as for traditional chemical engineering processes. Applications of these techniques include sensitivity analysis of signal transduction pathways, image analysis techniques for fluorescence microscopy images, model reduction for controller design and experimental and sensor network design.
“Automatica” publishes papers on original theoretical and experimental research and development in the control of systems, involving all facets of automatic control theory and its applications.
