Mirela Župan, he concurrently collaborates on the Erasmus+ project "Time to Become Digital in Law". A summa cum laude graduate of the Faculty of Law Osijek (2021), he commenced doctoral studies in February 2022 while teaching seminars in Private International Law and Social Work Law. Education Master of Laws (univ. mag. iur.), Faculty of Law Osijek, 2021 (summa cum laude) Doctoral Studies in Law, Faculty of Law Osijek, enrolled February 2022 Research Focus Golub's scholarship critically examines the digital transformation of legal frameworks through the lens of private international law. His work interrogates how emerging technologies—particularly blockchain, smart contracts, and artificial intelligence—challenge traditional cross-border legal mechanisms. Key investigations include cryptoassets in insolvency proceedings, consumer vulnerability in algorithmic contract enforcement, and AI-driven evidence assessment in transnational disputes. His research consistently questions whether European legal instruments possess sufficient digital adaptability while addressing jurisdictional ambiguities and procedural gaps in virtual environments. Publication Trajectory His 2023-2024 publications reveal a cohesive exploration of digital disruption in private international law. Analyzing seven scholarly outputs, recurring themes emerge: the inadequacy of current frameworks in regulating decentralized finance (evident in cryptoasset insolvency studies), systemic consumer risks in smart contract ecosystems, and procedural innovations required for AI-assisted cross-border evidence gathering. Geographically, his work targets European Union instruments while acknowledging global implications, particularly in digital trade and virtual asset regulation. Scientific Recognition Research Fellowship, British Scholarship Trust (2022) Scholarship for Excellence, University of Osijek (2021) Annual Award for Best Students, Lions Club Osijek (2021) Dean's Award for Academic Excellence, Faculty of Law Osijek (2017-2021) Research Funding & Collaboration While not yet supervising graduate students, Golub actively secures competitive research funding.
