Henry Kenlay is a member of technical staff at Latent Labs with nine years of experience applying machine learning to molecular and biological problems, most recently building frontier models for all molecules of life. He previously drove antibody design ML as an immunoinformatics research scientist at Exscientia and completed a DPhil at Oxford studying robustness in graph machine learning and spectral filters. His background spans computational biology, deep learning for genomics and epigenetics, and practical software engineering from internships to production code. Henry is an active contributor to adversarial robustness tooling—having improved PGD and IG attacks in the deeprobust PyTorch library—demonstrating both research depth and engineering polish. He pairs rigorous mathematical training (Discrete Mathematics BSc, top of class) with hands-on experience across academia and industry, and often translates complex models into reproducible code. Colleagues value his ability to bridge theoretical robustness insights with applied molecular ML development.

Contributions:9 commits, 5 PRs, 2 comments in 13 days
Contributions summary:Henry primarily contributed to the `deeprobust` repository, which focuses on adversarial attacks and defenses in the context of graph neural networks. Their commits involved modifying and enhancing the `PGDAttack` and `IGAttack` methods within the global attack module. They added new parameters like 'epochs' to the PGD attack and refactored code for better consistency. Furthermore, the user refactored and improved import statements and adjusted variable names to enhance code clarity.
