Early life and education

Filip was born in Chișinău, where he grew up and attended the Moldo-Turkish "Orizont" Lyceum, graduating in 2005. [1] [2] He is a dual citizen of Romania and Moldova. [3] In 2004 and 2005, Filip won a bronze medal and a silver medal respectively while representing Moldova at the International Mathematical Olympiad. [4]

Filip graduated with an A.B. in mathematics from Princeton University in 2009. [3] He attended Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge where he received a master's degree with distinction in 2010. [3] He received his Ph.D. under the supervision of Alex Eskin at the University of Chicago in 2016. [5] [6]

Career

Filip spent two postdoctoral years as a Junior Fellow at Harvard University from 2016 to 2018, and another year at the Institute for Advanced Study. [3] He joined the University of Chicago as an associate professor in 2019 and became a full professor in 2023. [3]

Awards

Filip received a five-year Clay Research Fellowship lasting from 2016 to 2021. [3] [6] In 2020, Filip was one of the recipients of the EMS Prize. [7] [8]

Research

Filip's research focuses on the interactions between dynamical systems and algebraic geometry. [6] [7] In particular, he studies dynamics on Teichmüller spaces and studies Hodge theory in complex geometry. [6] [7]
