Brian Hahn graduated from St. Norbert College in 2005 with a double major in physics and mathematics. He is currently attending The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. pursuing his doctorate degree in Experimental Nuclear Physics.

Currently, he is studying sub-nuclear particles at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, along with taking classes and studying for the Ph.D qualifying exam.

Hahn's research could lead to discoveries concerning the origin of the universe. He attributes his success to a very rigorous curriculum in physics and mathematics, along with the outstanding one-on-one attention he received in those two areas.
