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]
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]
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]
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]
