Jürgen Hackl

Jürgen Hackl is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research interests include Sustainable, Resilient Cities and Infrastructure Systems, Water, Climate and Energy, Mechanics, Materials and Structures, Hydrology and the Atmospheric Environment. His work focuses on the interface between network science and complex infrastructure systems, with an emphasis on spatial-temporal networks, uncertainty quantification, and digital twin technologies. Hackl obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering Science from ETH Zurich in 2019 and has held positions at the University of Zürich, University of Liverpool, and University of Cambridge before joining Princeton in 2023.

Jürgen Hackl is an Assistant Professor at Princeton University, specializing in Complex Infrastructure Systems, Network Science, Systems of Systems, and Uncertainty Quantification. His research focuses on modeling and analyzing infrastructure networks under various risks, including natural hazards and disaster recovery. He develops methodologies for risk assessment, resilience evaluation, and optimization of restoration programs for transportation networks. Hackl's work integrates computational techniques such as Bayesian networks, simulated annealing, and GPU-accelerated rendering to enhance the analysis of large-scale disaster simulation data. His research contributes to improving the reliability and resilience of critical infrastructure systems.
