Dr.-Ing. Angelos Filippatos is the Assistant Professor for Design of Machine Elements and Machine Design of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics at the University of Patras in Greece. Prior to his appointment, he was a group leader of the research group “Hierarchical Topologies – Intelligent multi-functional Systems with material-inherent functions” at the Dresden Center for Intelligent Materials (DCIM) of the Technische Universität Dresden and a research associate at the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) of TU Dresden.

His research interests are on the design and testing of multi-functional, multi-material structures under complex loading conditions, with a special focus on enabling new technical and societal requirements. The main emphasis of his research is to synergize multi-material engineering, parametric simulations and machine learning to discover and implement novel functionalities to hybrid and composite structures.

His research has been funded by national (German) and international agencies, including the European Commission, DAAD, the free State of Saxony and TU Dresden. He is a reviewer for 6 International Journals and two International Conferences. He has supervised over 18 Student and Diploma Theses at the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering of TU Dresden.
