Kahn grew up in New York City. On the basis of his success in the Putnam competition, he became a Putnam Fellow in 1988. He received a bachelor's degree in mathematics at Harvard University, then received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995 under Curtis McMullen with the thesis Holomorphic removability of quadratic polynomial Julia sets. He was Assistant Professor at Caltech from 1995 to 1998 and was later a postdoc at the University of Toronto. After that, he worked for the investment firm Highbridge Capital Management as an analyst in financial mathematics. He was a postdoc and later assistant professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is currently a professor of mathematics at Brown University.

In 2012, Kahn and Vladimir Markovic received the Clay Research Award for their research on hyperbolic geometry, specifically, for their result on immersions into a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold (proof of the surface subgroup conjecture) and for their proof of the Ehrenpreis conjecture.

In 2014 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul and gave a talk called "The Surface Subgroup and the Ehrenpreis Conjectures".
