Dr Rongyu Kuang

Biography

I joined Middlesex University as a Lecturer in Marketing in the Department of Marketing, Enterprise and Tourism, School of Business and Law. My teaching and research focus on consumer behaviour, digital marketing, consumer psychology, and the role of emerging technologies, such as AI and virtual reality, in shaping consumer responses to brands.

My research examines how consumers’ perceptions, emotions, and relationships with brands change when innovative technologies are used in product design, production, and commercialisation. I am particularly interested in brand attachment, psychological ownership, self-brand connection, and digital consumer experiences.

Before joining Middlesex University, I completed my PhD at Cranfield University, School of Management, and gained experience in postgraduate teaching, assessment, dissertation supervision, and research support.
