Alejandro Domínguez is an MPP candidate at the Jackson School of Global Affairs, where he examines the threats that inequality and emerging technologies pose to democratic institutions in Latin America and beyond. His work explores how these forces—if left unchecked—can deepen social fragmentation and how they might instead be redirected to expand civic engagement, reduce corruption, and create the conditions for more dignified, culturally enriched lives.

Before joining Yale, Alejandro served as coordinator of the Dual Education Program at the Ministry of Education of Nuevo León, Mexico, where he oversaw the education of over 10,000 students. During his tenure, enrollment doubled in less than a year. He previously worked as a public policy analyst for the Congress of Nuevo León and as an evaluation specialist with the United Nations Development Programme, applying causal inference methods to assess the effectiveness of public interventions. As a research assistant at Tecnológico de Monterrey, he contributed to projects on urban mobility, informality, and machine learning in policy analysis. He is a co-author of one peer-reviewed publication presented internationally.

Alejandro holds a dual bachelor’s degree in economics and government and public transformation from Tecnológico de Monterrey. He was named Economics Student of the Year in 2023 by his peers, served as president of the Economics Honor Society, and has won multiple national research and data competitions. After Jackson, he aims to work within or alongside government institutions while laying the foundation for future academic research.
