Lukai Yang

In 2021, I earned my PhD in Finance from the University of Alabama and I currently hold the position of Assistant Professor of Finance at Texas A&M International University. My focus and interest lie in finance research and teaching. I have experience in teaching a variety of courses, including Managerial Economics, Financial Management (MBA), Risk Management, Commercial Bank Management, Financial Markets and Institutions, Money and Capital Markets, and PhD Seminars in Financial Markets and Institutions. I am enthusiastic about working with students, and I strive to instill a passion for lifelong learning in my students as I share my passion for learning with them. My research areas include but are not limited to institutional investors, ESG, gender diversity of corporate boards, CEO turnover, shareholder activism, REITs, religiosity, and working capital management. Aside from my academic life, I am a proud parent of three children. I also enjoy hiking and traveling.
