Simion Filip studies the interactions between dynamical systems, especially on locally homogeneous and Teichmuller spaces, and algebraic geometry, particularly Hodge theory and complex geometry.

At present he is an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago. Previously he was a Clay Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (2018–2019) and held a Junior Fellowship at Harvard University (2016-2018). In 2016 he was awarded the first Dynamical Systems Prize for Young Mathematicians by the Center for Dynamics and Geometry at Penn State. He is also the recipient of a Clay Research Fellowship (2016-2021) awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute.
