Jen graduated from Imperial College, London in 1985 with a class honours degree in Aeronautical Engineering. She subsequently registered for a PhD at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), while employed at the Admiralty Research Establishment in Portland, Dorset. During her time in Portland, she worked mainly on sound propagation and radiation problems concerning submerged structures. In 1992, she completed her PhD entitled 'Acoustic Power Flow in Fluid Filled Tubes and Cavities'. In 1994, she returned to Southampton as a Research Fellow in the Mechanical Engineering Department, where she spent four years working on biomechanics of the human spine and image processing analysis of fluoroscopic images of human spine motion, which resulted in the development of the OSMIA system for back pain. In 1999, she was appointed Research Fellow in the Dynamics Group at ISVR, focusing on wave propagation in pipes and the detection of water leaks in buried pipes. In 2004, she instigated the vibroacoustic element Mapping Underworld project and was extensively involved until its completion in 2018. Additionally, she has undertaken research in automotive tyre vibration and various smaller structural dynamics projects. In 2007, she was promoted to Principal Research Fellow, and in 2024, she became a Professorial Fellow (Research), currently working predominantly on the UK Water Industry Research 'Zero Leakage 2050' programme.
