Hello, I’m Philip Wortman. I am a Systems Engineer and Researcher with a passion for unlocking the potential of unconventional energy resources while ensuring environmental integrity. My background includes a PhD in Systems Engineering (Petroleum Concentration), where I developed novel correlations between well log resistivity and rock wettability for the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.

I believe that robust engineering requires both deep technical insight and disciplined execution. That’s why I complement my research experience with certifications in Project Management and Data Analytics. Whether I’m conducting optical goniometry experiments, managing laboratory safety protocols, or building machine-learning models in Python, my goal is to bridge the gap between raw data and strategic, compliant outcomes.
