We are delighted to share that Hannah Greß, a PhD researcher affiliated with the Bernstein Node Bonn-Cologne and supervised by Prof. Dr. Björn Krüger, has been awarded a prestigious Heinrich Hertz Fellowship for an international research stay.
The fellowship supports a six-month research visit at EURECOM in Biot, France, where Hannah will conduct research on:
“Experimental Security Analysis of a BLE-Enabled Medical Device at the Protocol and Implementation Level.”
As a doctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Dr. Björn Krüger at the Department of Epileptology, University Hospital Bonn, Hannah’s work lies at the intersection of digital health, cybersecurity, and medical technology. During her stay at EURECOM, she will investigate security vulnerabilities in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled medical devices, contributing to the development of secure and trustworthy digital health systems.
The Heinrich Hertz Fellowship promotes international scientific exchange and provides outstanding early-career researchers with the opportunity to collaborate with leading international research institutions. The research stay at EURECOM will enable Hannah to deepen her expertise in cybersecurity, establish new scientific collaborations, and bring valuable knowledge back to the Bernstein Node Bonn-Cologne community.
We congratulate Hannah on this outstanding achievement and wish her a productive and inspiring stay in France.
