Full Professor Dino Županović, PhD was born on June 16, 1979, in Zagreb, where he attended elementary school and the XV Mathematical-Informatic Gymnasium, specializing in Informatics. After obtaining the title of mathematical-informatic technician, he enrolled at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences at the University of Zagreb, specializing in traffic and transport, and at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Zagreb, majoring in Business Informatics. He earned his scientific title of Master of Science in the scientific field of technical sciences, area of traffic technology and transport (2006), with the thesis "Application of Computer Simulations in Solving Urban Traffic Flows" and defended his dissertation titled "Optimization of the Capacity of Signalized Intersections" in the same scientific field and area (2010). He received the scientific title of Master of Science in the scientific field of social sciences, area of economics, branch business informatics, by defending his master's thesis titled "Model of Advanced Management System for Infrastructure Capacities of Ferry Ports" at the Faculty of Economics, University of Zagreb, in 2012.

After completing his secondary education (1997) and before beginning his academic career, he worked in several private companies maintaining and developing information systems. In 2005, he was employed as an assistant at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb, in the courses Computer Science and Road Telematics, at the Department of Intelligent Transport Systems. Since February 2013, he has been employed at the Maritime Department of the University of Zadar as a full professor and head for the courses Application of Computers, Economics of Shipping, Technology of Intermodal Transport at the undergraduate level, and Management Information Systems and Port Management for Public Transport at the graduate level.

Professor Dino Županović’s scientific activities are connected to the application of information technologies in transport (intelligent transport systems), traffic simulations, intermodal transport, optimization of road traffic flows at both micro and macro levels, the application of multi-criteria decision-making in information systems, and information system security. In addition to these areas, his scientific work also relates to the economic effects of applying information technologies in transport.

He strives to transfer and apply his acquired knowledge in scientific fields to the economy for more than ten years by actively participating in the implementation of commercial and EU projects as a collaborator and leader.
