About

Sofya G. Glavina is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of Islamic finance and emerging technologies, with a focus on how the Fourth Industrial Revolution reshapes ethical financial systems. Her most-cited work, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution in Islamic Finance: The Case of Digital Currencies of Central Banks" (2024, 4 citations), examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain for Sharia-compliant economies. Glavina’s major contribution lies in analyzing how central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) can align with Islamic principles of fairness and transparency, while addressing the challenges of decentralization in a rapidly digitizing world. Her research bridges the gap between cutting-edge tech—such as machine learning and neural networks—and traditional financial ethics, offering a roadmap for integrating automation without compromising religious values. Though early in her citation impact, Glavina’s work is notable for its timely relevance, as global financial systems grapple with digital disruption. She stands out for her interdisciplinary approach, merging fintech innovation with Islamic jurisprudence, and her insights are increasingly vital for policymakers and scholars navigating the ethical dimensions of the digital economy.
