Carina Heßeling

Carina Heßeling serves as a Lecturer at FernUniversität Hagen's Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science since August 2023, following the completion of her doctoral degree in Computer Science at the same institution. Her academic journey reflects deep institutional continuity through multiple research and teaching roles.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, FernUniversität Hagen (2010-2017)
• Master of Science in Computer Science, FernUniversität Hagen (2017)
• PhD in Computer Science (Dr.Ing.), FernUniversität Hagen (2023)

Dr. Heßeling's research program centers on advanced cybersecurity mechanisms, with specialized expertise in covert channel engineering and steganographic techniques for sensor networks. Her work pioneers novel approaches to data hiding within numeric representations and sensor transmissions, addressing critical vulnerabilities in network security protocols through mathematical innovation in floating-point arithmetic and data stream manipulation.

Analysis of her eight publications (2022-2024) reveals concentrated investigation into covert channel bandwidth optimization, robustness against detection, and exploitation of numerical representation redundancies. The research demonstrates consistent methodological focus on sensor data systems while spanning cryptographic theory, network protocol analysis, and information-theoretic security frameworks.
