Alan Pendley

Alan Pendley is a dedicated innovator focusing on developing Soil-Compatible Materials using common minerals and bio-polymers to create impact-resistant and high tensile strength products. His goal is to replace disposable items with materials that can biodegrade back into the soil by pulverizing them.

Passionate about preventing and addressing climate change, Alan emphasizes the importance of adapting through durable infrastructure such as water storage tanks, sea walls, fire-resistant dwellings, utilizing locally sourced ground surface minerals, and crosslinked biopolymers to create cost-effective solutions. He leverages engineered peptides, discovered through yeast surface display, for composite design to produce materials that can biodegrade over time.

In addition to his work on Soil-Compatible Materials and climate change adaptation, Alan Pendley possesses expertise in various areas including business analysis, software development, robotic printing, specialty pigments, security materials, optical coatings, water technologies, air pollution control, and intellectual property development.

Alan Pendley has a background in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the Owner of Pendley and Associates and has held positions such as CTO, Treasurer, and Board Member at Industrial Origami Inc., Director at Micro Industrial Design, and VP-Financial Telecommunications at Swiss Bank Corporation.
