Filip is a Benefactors' Scholar of St John's College, Winton Physics of Sustainability Programme PhD Scholar and George and Lilian Schiff Foundation Research Student at the Cavendish Laboratory, Biological and Soft Systems division, Raymond and Beverly Sackler Physics of Medicine Centre, Maxwell Innovation Centre, University of Cambridge.

He obtained an undergraduate degree at the Faculty of Biology - the University of Belgrade in biology (molecular biology and physiology), and an MPhil in Research degree in Nanoscale Biology at the University of Cambridge. Previously, he has been working in the groups of Prof Taekjip Ha, HHMI, NAS, Johns Hopkins University, Prof Gijs Wuite, VU Amsterdam, Prof Aleksandra Radenovic, EPFL.

His work is devoted to deciphering the underlying details of biological mechanisms on the single-molecule level by developing and adapting the cutting-edge techniques from the physical sciences. Filip's main research goal is the development of the whole-genome, single-molecule, single-cell mapping platform for mapping of secondary DNA/RNA structures and intermolecular interactions with particular interest on G-quadruplex structures.

He published five papers in M21a category and he has currently multiple papers in review. For his research findings, he has been awarded multiple awards including Svetosavska Award, Stefan W. Kuffler Award, Benefactors' Prize-University of Cambridge. Currently, he is a PhD student in Keyser research group at the University of Cambridge and project manager of FemtoTox grant.
