Howdy!
Congratulations, you've found me! Whether it's been 10 years or 10 minutes since we last spoke, I'm glad you've landed here.
My name is Leo Penny and this website is a sort of substitute for my social media/LinkedIn. It's a one-stop shop to know more about who I am, what I do, and what I'm all about. Most importantly, it's a great place to reconnect!

I've lived around the world, done a bunch of crazy things and somehow ended up in St. Louis studying for a PhD in chemical engineering. I've placed my resume below but I'm not interested in new roles as I focus on finishing my PhD! My current project involves connecting machine learning with synthetic biology for accelerated discovery of protein based materials. The current material I'm working on (which is stronger than steel AND the strongest spider silk) is a Frankenstein genetic stitching of spider silk + mussel foot protein + human amyloid sequences made by the bacteria E. coli.
