Education and academic career
Muggleton graduated from Imperial College London in 1985 with a First Class Honours degree in Aeronautical Engineering. She went on to pursue a PhD at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR).{{Cite web |date=2023-06-28 |title=Jen Muggleton |url=https://theconversation.com/profiles/jen-muggleton-1450842 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=The Conversation |language=en-US}} During her tenure there, her work focused primarily on sound propagation and radiation issues related to submerged structures. In 1992, she was awarded her PhD for a thesis entitled "Acoustic Power Flow in Fluid-Filled Tubes and Cavities".
In 1994, she returned to the University of Southampton as a Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, where she spent the following four years investigating the biomechanics of the human spine. Her work included image processing and analysis of fluoroscopic images capturing spinal motion, culminating in the development of the OSMIA system for diagnosing and understanding back pain.
In 1999, Professor Muggleton was appointed as a Research Fellow in the Dynamics Group at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), where her work has primarily focused on wave propagation in pipes—initially for water leak detection, and more recently for the location and identification of buried pipelines. In 2004, she initiated the vibroacoustic component of the Mapping the Underworld project{{Cite web |title=Mapping the underworld: Buried asset location, identification and condition assessment using a multi-sensor approach {{!}} University of Southampton |url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/mapping-the-underworld-buried-asset-location-identification-condition-assessment |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=www.southampton.ac.uk |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Mapping the underworld 2 {{!}} University of Southampton |url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/mapping-the-underworld-2 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=www.southampton.ac.uk |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=E Rustighi - Assessing the Underworld (EP/K021699/1) (RP008490) {{!}} University of Southampton |url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/e-rustighi-assessing-the-underworld-epk0216991-rp008490 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=www.southampton.ac.uk |language=en}}, to which she contributed extensively until its conclusion in 2018.{{Cite journal |last1=Metje |first1=Nicole |last2=Atkins |first2=Philip |last3=Brennan |first3=MJ |last4=Chapman |first4=David |last5=Lim |first5=Hong |last6=Matchell |first6=J |last7=Muggleton |first7=JM |last8=Pennock |first8=S |last9=Ratcliffe |first9=J |last10=Redfern |first10=M |last11=Rogers |first11=Christopher |last12=Saul |first12=AJ |last13=Shan |first13=Q |last14=Swingler |first14=S |last15=Thomas |first15=Andrew |date=2007-09-01 |title=Mapping the underworld - State-of-the-art-review |url=https://research.birmingham.ac.uk/en/publications/mapping-the-underworld-state-of-the-art-review |journal=Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology |volume=22 |issue=5–6 |pages=568–586 |doi=10.1016/j.tust.2007.04.002|bibcode=2007TUSTI..22..568M }}{{Cite web |title=Mapping the Underworld: Buried Asset Location, Identification and Condition Assessment using Multi-Sensor Approach |url=https://research.birmingham.ac.uk/en/projects/mapping-the-underworld-buried-asset-location-identification-and-c |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=University of Birmingham |language=en}}{{Cite journal |last1=Royal |first1=Alexander |last2=Rogers |first2=Christopher |last3=Atkins |first3=Philip |last4=Chapman |first4=David |last5=Chen |first5=Huanhuan |last6=Cohn |first6=AG |last7=Foo |first7=Kae |last8=Goddard |first8=K |last9=Hayes |first9=R |last10=Hao |first10=Tong |last11=Lewin |first11=PL |last12=Metje |first12=Nicole |last13=Muggleton |first13=JM |last14=Naji |first14=A |last15=Orlando |first15=G |date=2011-01-01 |title=Mapping the Underworld: A Step-Change in the Approach to Utility Location and Designation: ICPTT 2011: Sustainable Solutions for Water, Sewer, Gas, and Oil Pipelines: Proceedings of the International Conference on Pipelines and Trenchless Technology 2011 |url=https://research.birmingham.ac.uk/en/publications/mapping-the-underworld-a-step-change-in-the-approach-to-utility-l |journal=Birmingham |pages=1589–1597 |doi=10.1061/41202(423)168 |issn=7844-1202}} Her research has also encompassed automotive tyre vibration and several smaller projects in structural dynamics. She was promoted to Principal Research Fellow in 2007, and to Professorial Fellow (Research) in 2024. Since 2018, her work has centered on the UKWIR Zero Leakage 2050 programme.{{Cite web |last=Knight |first=Jenny |date=2022-01-06 |title=Hydrant Dynamics for Acoustic Leak Detection in Water Pipes |url=https://cdt-sicities.soton.ac.uk/2022/01/06/hydrant-dynamics-for-acoustic-leak-detection-in-water-pipes/ |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities |language=en-GB}}
