Before joining the Faculty Staff at the Aesthetics Institute of The Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 2013, Roman Dominguez worked and studied in France, where he finished a Ph.

Right now, he is preparing the publication of the adaptation of the French and Spanish versions of his Ph. D. Thesis and an Essay on Black Mirror British TV series and new media technologies.
