Rusi Marinov

Prof. Rusi Marinov serves as Professor of Strategic Communications at New Bulgarian University's Department of Media and Communication. He teaches core courses including Communication and Smart Technologies, Strategic Communication, Interactive Communications, Crisis Management, and Cyber Crisis Management. His institutional affiliations extend to European networks such as ECREA, Europe Unlimited, The European Charter for Media Literacy, and Bulgaria's Union of Scientists.

His research spans strategic communications with specialized focus on crisis management systems, smart technology integration, and knowledge transfer mechanisms. Prof. Marinov's work uniquely bridges communication theory with technological implementation, particularly examining how intelligent platforms transform crisis response protocols and information management during emergencies. His methodology emphasizes practical application of theoretical frameworks through interactive systems and real-time data analytics.

Publication trends over the past two decades reveal progressive technological deepening - from foundational communication strategy frameworks (2004-2009) to current AI-driven crisis prevention platforms (2018-2020). Recent works demonstrate sophisticated integration of IoT, blockchain, and machine learning within communication architectures, reflecting industry evolution toward predictive rather than reactive crisis systems.

Through his NBU courses and European network engagements, Prof. Marinov maintains active supervision of undergraduate research with emphasis on practical technology implementation. His professional activities with Europe Unlimited and ECREA suggest ongoing grant-supported work in digital communication policy, though specific funding details aren't publicly documented. Students gain direct exposure to emerging crisis technology platforms through his course structures.
