Following her studies, Becker conducted research on mobility at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) Potsdam, later renamed the Research Institute for Sustainability - Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS). In 2020 she was appointed professor of sustainability mobility and transdisciplinary research methods (NaMo) at TU Berlin.

In 2015 she undertook research on carsharing and individual life quality at the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Sophia Becker's research examines socio-technical transformation processes, sustainable mobility, individual behavior change, and mobility innovation. Her work also focuses on transdiscplinary research methods. A particular focus of her research is dedicated to examining and supporting the mobility transition in Berlin and Brandenburg. Professor Becker is active in science communication and policy advising at municipal, state, and federal level.
The Executive Board will provide regular reports on its strategic planning. This includes the 100-day program from summer semester 2022 as well as programs for the following semesters.
