Erfolgreiche Doppel-Promotions-Verteidigung von Anna Marie Harkin und Kevin Harkin
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Dr. Anna Marie Harkin und Dr. Kevin Harkin!
Wir freuen uns, die erste Promotionsverteidigung "im Doppelpack" von Anna Marie Harkin und Kevin Harkin an unserem Lehrstuhl bekannt zu geben! Am 19. Juni 2026 verteidigten die beiden nacheinander ihre Dissertationen. Wir gratulieren beiden herzlich zu diesem tollen Erfolg!
Zunächst startete Marie Harkin mit ihrer Dissertation zum Thema: "Interaction at Intersections - Implicit Communication between Vulnerable Road Users and Turning Automated Vehicles".
Anschließend verteidigte Kevin Harkin seine Dissertation zum Thema:
"Acceptance of Vulnerable Road Users towards Automated Vehicles in Urban Traffic".
Wir bedeanken uns bei den beiden externen Gutachtern Prof. Martin Baumann (Ulm) und Prof. Josef F. Krems (Chemnitz), sowie den weiteren Mitgliedern der jeweiligen Prüfungskommissionen Prof. Daniel Leising und Prof. Sebastian Pannasch.
