Ignacio Segovia-Dominguez
Ignacio Segovia-Dominguez is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematical and Data Sciences at West Virginia University. Previous appointments include a visiting scientist position at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Caltech), a postdoctoral research associate role at the University of Texas at Dallas, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Research in Mathematics (CIMAT).
His research develops mathematically grounded methods for learning from complex and structured data, spanning statistical pattern recognition, spatio-temporal graph modeling, structural signature extraction, and numerical optimization. He applies these methods across health and environmental systems, security and conflict analytics, and modeling dynamic complex networks, with an emerging line of work in quantum computing and quantum machine learning. His broader research agenda is to build shared methodology across fields that don't typically borrow from one another, from public health to national security.
He received his master's and doctoral degrees in computer science from the Center for Research in Mathematics (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico. He is committed to supporting the academic and professional growth of all students in STEM, informed by his own experience as a first-generation college graduate.
