Discipline hopping Simons Foundation Pivot Fellow Evgueni Filipov joins HBBE.
Evgueni Filipov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. For the 2025 calendar year he is a Visiting Fellow in the HBBE and Newcastle University School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape. His visit is sponsored by a prestigious Simons Foundation Pivot Fellowship which is designed to give experienced researchers an opportunity to pivot into new fields of study. Evgueni has joined the HBBE to enter the field of mycelium biomaterials, where he is interested in exploring the bonding mechanisms between mycelium hyphae, organic substrates, and knitted scaffolds. He plans to create mechanics-based models to simulate, design and optimize the behavior of biohybrid systems, with the long-term goal of growing low-cost regenerative infrastructure.
