Mu-Jeung (MJ) Yang, assistant professor of Entrepreneurship and Strategy, left a tenured position at the University of Oklahoma to join Leeds. He earned his PhD in economics from UC Berkeley and cited the collegial atmosphere and strong scholarship in entrepreneurship and strategy at CU Boulder as key motivators for him to come to Leeds.

Yang’s research interests include scientific approaches to entrepreneurship and venture capital, AI and data-driven decision-making, and transformative innovations. His co-authored research work includes interviews with CEOs of major corporations and startups, and collaborations with the state of Utah on COVID-19 recovery and entrepreneurship field experiments.

“Outside of Leeds, I was very much attracted to the opportunities of understanding the local quantum computing ecosystem,” he added.
