After that, she spent 3.5 years in Boston as visiting Ph.D. student at the MIT and as research assistant at the Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems. In 2014, she completed her doctoral thesis on digital interventions for sustainable consumer behaviour at ETH Zurich and became leader of the Bits to Energy Lab Zurich.

Since 2019, Verena Tiefenbeck is a tenure track professor for Digital Transformation at FAU. In addition, has she established a research group with a five-year grant from the Bavarian Ministry of Science and the Arts, and hence a fourth site of the Bits to Energy Lab.

She uses high-resolution data on human behaviour that are increasingly available both in corporate and in private contexts, focusing on applications in the energy, mobility, sustainability and health context.
