Andrea Hauslbauer bei der Verteidigung ihrer Doktorarbeit
Her semester abroad at the University of California, Davis, USA, where she worked on a joint project with Prof. Dr. Giovanni Circella (RTG reported), certainly played a major role in the international success of Ms Hauslbauer's much-cited articles on behavioral change in traffic. Her dissertation will be published in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (SLUB) in the next few days.
Article already published in the SLUB:
"Extending the theory of planned behavior to predict and nudge towards the subscription to a public transport ticket" (2022) available online
We congratulate Andrea on her success and wish her all the best for her - we believe scientific - future!
