Biography

Jennifer M. Rampling is an Associate Professor at the Princeton Materials Institute whose research focuses on the history of medieval and early modern science and medicine, with a particular emphasis on alchemy and early chemistry. She explores the relationships between alchemy, natural philosophy, and medicine in pre-modern Europe, particularly the connections between textual authority and artisanal practice. Her work at PRISM aims to reconstruct historical experiments through investigating past scientific practices. With a Ph.D. in History of Science from the University of Cambridge, she has also earned a Master's degree in Renaissance Studies from London and an LL.B. with Honours in Law from Hull. Rampling's teaching and research deeply engage with the interconnections between historical texts and the craft practices of their time.
