Boris Podobnik, PhD, is a professor of economics at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management, a research fellow at the Centre for Polymer Studies at Boston University, and a professor of mathematics at the University of Rijeka. He is also the Vice Dean for research at ZSEM. He holds a PhD in physics from the University of Zagreb and was a post-doc at Boston University in 1999. He teaches Econometrics at University of Zagreb, Advanced Econometrics at ZSEM, and Operational Research at the University of Rijeka. He collaborated or still collaborates with Boston University, Harvard University, National University of Singapore, University of Halle, Tokyo University of Information Sciences, University at Lecce, and East China University of Science and technology.

Podobnik, PhD, has more than 90 scientific publications in different fields of science, ranging from nuclear physics, high energy physics, physiology, statistical physics, econometrics, and finance. His publication list includes Nature Physics, Physical review Letters, Scientific Reports, Quantitative Finance, and five papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The papers were cited more than 5.176 times. His H-factor is currently 25. He was the main researcher for the Croatian project Long-term correlations in complex systems (2007-2012) and a bilateral Croatian-Slovenian project on heartbeat data (2008). He gave invited talks in Warsaw (2004), Turin (2006), Lisbon (2007), Tokyo (2009), Shanghai (2011), Ljubljana (2012) and Zurich (2012) to mention a few.
