Professor Jennifer Wen FREng 

Professor in Energy Resilience, University of Surrey 

Professor Jennifer Wen develops advanced modelling/simulation approaches for physical understanding and consequence analysis of accidental releases, fire and explosions. She is distinguished for the engineering and policy impact of her work. Her engineering tool for venting protective systems was used in hydrogen refuelling station design, in the Hy4Heat project that informed the UK government’s consideration on hydrogen community trials, and adopted by European Standard EN14994. She led two hydrogen safety guidance notes published by the European Commission. Her work informed protective measures in Air Liquide; conceptual design in bp; and adapted in predictive tools/approaches in Pilkington, DNV, Shell and FM Global.
