Shuo (Luna) Yang is an Assistant Professor of International Business and Business Analytics at Pennsylvania State University, Brandywine Campus. She received her Ph.D. in International Business and Strategic Management from Kent State University in 2022.

Her research operates at the intersection of international business, colonial history, and computational social science. One stream examines how historical institutional legacies — particularly colonial governance structures — shape the cross-border strategies of emerging market multinationals, with a focus on ownership architectures, intermediation mechanisms, and liability of foreignness mitigation in overseas acquisitions. A second stream applies network analysis and computational methods to questions of global economic structure, including how infrastructure initiatives like the Belt and Road reshape FDI connectivity patterns. A third, increasingly integrated stream investigates AI's impact on labor markets and workforce mobility, using skill network frameworks drawn from the economic complexity tradition.

Her work draws on transaction cost economics, agency theory, and institutional economics to address governance architecture questions in international contexts. Her research targets leading outlets in international business and management, including the Journal of International Business Studies and International Business Review.

As a teacher, she develops innovative, no-code computational curricula that make network analysis and AI literacy accessible to undergraduate business students, leveraging platforms like Google Colab to lower technical barriers.

She also serves on Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Advisory Council on Artificial Intelligence for Public Good, bridging academic expertise and public policy on questions of AI governance and workforce impact.
