DPS Group, a privately-owned, global engineering, procurement, construction management and validation (EPCMV) firm serving high-tech process industries, has hired Philip Lyman, PhD as its Director of Process Modelling.
In his new role, Philip will drive innovation and thought leadership across all US project operations business units.
Reporting to the President of US Project Operations, Werner Greyling, Philip will serve as a top-level technical expert while supporting projects on a global basis.
"We are excited to welcome Philip to DPS as our Director of Process Modeling as well as introducing clients to scientific ways of improving operations," said Werner. "Philip has the unique talent to provide an overall snapshot of a facility's operations and can develop a roadmap to improve efficiencies, operating costs and increase throughput."
With over 27 years of experience, Philip is a subject matter expert in process modelling and simulation. He is a global technical team leader with a track record of delivering targeted process models for design optimisation, debottlenecking, scheduling, and cost reduction. He is experienced with many life sciences production processes including cell culture, small molecule, liquid fill, oral solid dosage, cell and gene therapy, plasma fractionation and oligonucleotides. These models often include supporting services such as utilities, waste, material and personnel logistics, warehousing, and quality control functions. Working with other process engineers to correctly calibrate and manipulate the models, these simulations help DPS Group's clients better understand how to increase throughput, decrease operating costs, and improve efficiency in overall operations.
Philip received a PhD and M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Process Modeling and Control, from Lehigh University. He earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE).
Serving high-tech industries around the world, DPS Group delivers full-service engineering across a range of disciplines, including project management, procurement, design, construction management, health and safety management, commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV), and facility start-up.
