<Jenn Leung> — HTGAA Spring 2026
About me
Jenn Leung is a creative technologist and simulation developer building game engine simulations and real-time streaming tools. Currently her research focuses on developing UE interfaces for living neurons and agent behaviour simulation, with two papers recently published in the MIT Antikythera Journal and a paper on UE-API for brain-on-a-chip platforms presented at NeurIPS 2025.
She is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Technology & Design at University of the Arts London, a researcher at LifeFabs Institute, and a Visiting Researcher at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, working on the 100 Minds in Motion project combining EEG, eye-tracking, and movement data in an agent simulation. She was previously a studio researcher at Antikythera’s Cognitive Infrastructures Studio in 2024, supported by the Berggruen Institute. Since 2025 she has been collaborating with the biocomputing start-up Cortical Labs to create human-synthetic biological intelligence visualizations.
She is also a part of Off World Live, an engineering and research group for Unreal Engine creators, and previously served as a Programme Head at Architectural Association VS Unit 5 Xalon. Her work has been exhibited at Epic Games Innovation Lab, Ars Electronica, Medialab Matadero, W1 Curates, Tai Kwun Hong Kong, National Communication Museum (Australia), CIVA Festival, DAE Research Festival, PAF Olomouc, ALife Conference Kyoto, Aksioma, and Museum of Art in Public Spaces (Køge) among others, and was featured on Dazed, TANK Magazine, DIS, SHOWStudio, Art Asia Pacific, COEVAL Magazine, and AQNB.
In collaboration with Daniel Felstead, she has produced a short film series ‘I’m so Janky’ from DIS that explore the myths, ideologies and realities of the metaverse, AI, and Neuralink. She also collaborates with dmstfctn on simulation projects for Serpentine Arts Technologies and the Leonardo Supercomputer at Bologna’s Tecnopolo.
