Welcome!

My name is Filippos Filippitzis. Welcome to my webpage!

My work is at the intersection of engineering and software, my goal is to deliver efficient solutions, to complex engineering challenges, that drive both technical excellence and real-world impact.

My expertise lies in the areas of Finite Element analysis, digital twins, Structural Health Monitoring, and earthquake ground motion response.

I am currently a Software Development Engineer at Altair Engineering, where I am part of the development team of the Altair HyperWorks, designing and implementing mesh and geometry algorithms for the HyperMesh FEA preprocessing solution.

I received my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech in 2020. My advisors at Caltech were Professors Thomas H. Heaton and Monica D. Kohler. Professors Domniki Asimaki and Robert W. Clayton were on my committee.

I got my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Thessaly, in my hometown of Volos, Greece. My diploma thesis was on the area of modelling aerosol transport and deposition. My advisor was Professor Vasilis Bontozoglou.
