Frank Hessel works as a research assistant at the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at TU Darmstadt and joined emergenCITY in April 2020. He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science as well as Internet- and Web-Based Systems from TU Darmstadt.

Within emergenCITY, Frank is part of the mission lead for our mission Digital Heinerblock, which aims at showcasing our research results on district scale in a living lab in Darmstadt’s Martinsviertel. With his focus on resilient urban data networks and IoT, he is working on bringing a sensor network and wireless testbed into the district. This allows monitoring processes of urban transition in the quarter and to empirically evaluate new communication protocols for crises.
