His research bridges classical and contemporary literature, with groundbreaking contributions to the study of digital poetics and artificial intelligence in literature. His monograph “Novissima Verba” and co-edited volume “Latin America Digital Poetics” explore how digital technologies and artificial intelligence are reshaping literary production and interpretation. Elected to the Academia Chilena de la Lengua and Spain’s Real Academia de Córdoba, Correa-Díaz is internationally recognized for his scholarship on Cervantes, Ercilla, Latin American poetry, and literature’s role in human rights discourse. He has authored over 20 poetry collections, 12 scholarly books, and numerous journal articles, influencing generations of students and scholars worldwide. His interdisciplinary and multilingual research continues to push the boundaries of literary studies in the digital age.

The title of Distinguished Research Professor recognizes senior faculty who are internationally recognized for their innovative body of work and its transformational impact on the field. The Professorship is awarded to faculty working at the very top of their discipline, who are recognized as a preeminent leader in their field of study. Nominations should clearly describe the evidence of prominence and impact of the nominee’s work, as well as the promise of ongoing and future scholarly work. The Department of Romance Languages warmly congratulates Professor Correa-Díaz on this recognition of his work.
