Sami Haddadin was born in 1980 as the eldest of three children to a Jordanian doctor and a Finnish nurse. He grew up with his sister and brother in his birthplace Neustadt am Rübenberge. He passed his Abitur in 1999 in Stolzenau at the local grammar school.

Haddadin studied electrical engineering and computer science at the universities of Hanover , in Oulu in Finland and in Munich . He holds degrees in electrical engineering, computer science and technology management from the Technical University of Munich and the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) , a joint institute of the Technical University of Munich and the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich . He received his doctorate summa cum laude from RWTH Aachen University in 2011 . His dissertation was recognized as the best European dissertation in robotics.

He then worked in various functions as a research assistant at DLR.

From April 2014 to April 2018, Haddadin was a professor at the Institute for Automatic Control at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University of Hanover . On April 1, 2018, he accepted the call as professor and director of the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) . Before that, he turned down offers from various other universities, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) or Stanford University .

He has published more than 130 scientific articles in international journals and conferences. He has received numerous awards for his scientific work.

He is married and has three children.

For 2019, Haddadin was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize . Also in 2019 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech).

On November 29, 2017, together with his brother Simon and Sven Parusel, he was awarded the German Future Prize endowed with 250,000 euros by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier . This was awarded to their concept "for inexpensive, flexible and intuitively operable robots", which turn automats into helpers to humans.

In 2015, Haddadin was awarded the Alfried Krupp Prize for Young University Professors. With the associated prize money of 1 million euros, Haddadin should be able to advance his work independently over a period of five years.

In 2014, Haddadin was appointed professor at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hanover in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science . At that time he was the youngest young scientist in Germany to hold a chair for control engineering .

In 2012, Haddadin received the Georges Giralt PhD Award for Europe's best doctoral thesis in robotics.
