Bio

Domínguez completed his B.S. degree in Informatics Engineering in 2010 at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas, Venezuela. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from North Carolina State University in 2015 and 2018, respectively, where he was a member of the CIIGAR research lab. His research has focused on studying human behavior in video games and virtual environments to create computational models of interaction that can be used to identify, predict, and influence behavior and decision-making processes.

Prior to joining the faculty at NC State, Domínguez was a member of the teaching staff of the Senior Design Center of the Computer Science department at NC State, working with the Center in multiple capacities. He also has industry experience as a software engineer developing mobile, desktop and full-stack web applications. He joined North Carolina State University as a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science in 2019.
