She is responsible for delivering undergraduate and postgraduate modules in Cybersecurity, Computer Forensics, wireless Networks and Simulation, Advanced Cybersecurity, Data Security, Network Security, Security Analysis, Techniques & Procedures and Emerging and Future Trends. She is also supervising undergraduate and postgraduate final year students' projects.

Dr Campbell is part of a team preparing validation document for new and existing courses for Computing.

Her research has generated over 20 peer reviewed international journal publications and conference papers, a book chapter  in the book entitled  Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Status and Future Trends and is published by CRC Press and a book, Carlene Campbell and Kok-Keong Jonathan Loo,  A Multichannel Wireless Sensor Networks MAC Protocol, Lambert Academic Publishing, 2016.  Book can be accessed at Amazon.

The chapter looks at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, where it focuses on the design of multichannel communication based on the 802.11 Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF) to improve its communication in WSN.

The Paper entitled “Multichannel Framework for Body Area Network in Health Monitoring” proposed a novel multi-radio multi-channel framework for efficient communication among devices in wireless body area networks (WBAN).  the focus is to ensure energy efficient and reliable communication in WBAN.
