Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilipp Lang is a software team leader with 11 years of experience building predictive systems and production-grade simulation software in the energy sector. He progressed from research-driven PhD work in computational mechanics to hands-on engineering roles at Schlumberger/SLB, combining deep numerical methods knowledge with practical C++ and multi-physics system design. Philipp has led machine learning engineering efforts and now directs a software team, bridging model research and reliable deployment for reservoir simulation and predictive analytics. His background includes migrating scientific codebases to modern C++11, integrating performance libraries (VTK, Boost, OpenMP), and shipping optimised single-thread and scalable solutions. He brings an uncommon mix of academic rigor—Best Paper Award and international invited talks—and industrial delivery that helps turn complex multi-scale physics into maintainable production software. Based in the Greater Oxford Area, he excels at turning research prototypes into robust tools used in operational workflows.
