Simion Filip

Simion Filip is a mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago who works in dynamical systems and algebraic geometry.

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

Filip graduated with an A.B. in mathematics from Princeton University in 2009. In 2020, Filip was one of the recipients of the EMS Prize.

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