Jenny will talk about her plans to create a Science Fashion Lab in Cambridge and her Scentsory Design research which exists at the cross-over of three main disciplines; the developing knowledge and utilisation of nanotechnology and miniaturisation, the science of smell and how it affects the human brain, and wearable technologies/sensor networks for therapeutic applications in 'emotional clothing'.

She is a Senior Research Fellow in Fashion at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and Creative Director of Sensory Design & Technology Ltd which she founded with Professor Andreas Manz (a pioneer of lab-on-a-chip). She is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Visiting Scholar in the Institute of Biotechnology, Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of
Cambridge. See www.designlondon.net/escent

She received her PhD in Textiles from the Royal College of Art and BA in Fashion Communication from Central Saint Martins. Prior to her academic work she was a stylist, before working for Charmed Technology Inc (a spinout from the MIT Media Lab Wearable Technology Group).
