Dominguez served previously as the Associate Dean for Research and Global Engagement and a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). He has a strong history of research and grant activity, including a National Science Foundation CAREER grant and a cooperative agreement with the NSF for $11.5 million. Sigma Xi Lecture Series
