Areas of Interest

Diego Gómez-Zará is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where he directs the RINGZ Lab (Research in Networks and Groups). His long-term goal is to design technologies that foster inclusive, effective, and innovative teamwork across science, education, and organizations. His research bridges computational social science, human-computer interaction, and network science, with a focus on how computational systems can help people organize, collaborate, and innovate together.

At Notre Dame, he teaches courses in Human-Computer Interaction and Data Science, engaging students in the design, analysis, and evaluation of interactive systems. Before joining Notre Dame, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. He received his Ph.D. in Technology and Social Behavior, a joint program in Computer Science and Communication, also at Northwestern University.

His recent publications span topics such as mixed reality, human–AI collaboration, and collaborative systems design. This research has received Best Paper Awards at leading venues in human–computer interaction, including ACM CHI, CSCW, and ICA. His work has been supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, DARPA, the National Science Foundation, Microsoft Research, IBM, Amazon Research, and Slack Inc.
