Professor Boštjan Brumen serves as a Full Professor at the University of Maribor specializing in informatics with dual research foci in security/privacy and machine learning. His academic profile bridges technical informatics with tourism applications, particularly examining digitalization and security challenges in tourism contexts through interdisciplinary research. His research centers on password security and cryptoanalysis within security studies, while exploring algorithmic limitations in machine learning classification systems. Recently, he has integrated these domains with tourism research, investigating pandemic-related travel behavior, spatial sensitivity in urban tourism, and security vulnerabilities in tourism technology systems. This work appears in reputable journals including Computers & Security and Academica turistica. Professor Brumen teaches Data Analysis in Tourism across undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs, employing a teaching methodology that prioritizes critical thinking and adaptability over factual memorization. His pedagogical approach combines lectures with discussion-based analysis followed by independent application exercises, emphasizing historical context and pattern recognition to prepare students for evolving technological landscapes. His publication record demonstrates consistent output in both technical informatics venues and tourism research journals, with recent 2020 publications spanning shoulder surfing experiments, city spatial sensitivity, and COVID-19 travel impact studies. While specific awards aren't documented, his work appears in high-impact journals including the Journal of Medical Internet Research (IF 4.7). Professor Brumen maintains active research supervision through course instruction and co-authored publications, though specific student names aren't listed. His interdisciplinary approach connects informatics fundamentals with practical tourism applications, suggesting ongoing institutional support for his research activities despite explicit grant details being unavailable.
