Long Vo is a Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia (UWA) Business School and the Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC)—a collaborative initiative between the Government of Western Australia and local universities dedicated to advancing applied research and teaching in transport and land use planning. He is a member of the Australian Institute of Energy and an alumnus of the Australia–Vietnam Leadership Dialogue.

Prior to his current role, Long served as a Research Officer at UWA Business School and as a Teaching Fellow at both UWA Business School and the School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University. He also held a Lectureship at the Faculty of Finance, Banking and Business Administration, Quy Nhon University, Vietnam.

His research spans international trade, finance, and macroeconomics. He has modelled global demand for energy, food, and agricultural commodities, examined currency misvaluation, and contributed to financial asset pricing through analyses of high-frequency return and volatility structures. His broader interests focus on the interplay between technological innovation, intangible capital investment, and transport networks in driving structural economic transformation and productivity growth.

At PATREC, Long contributed to a major project funded by the Western Australian Department of Transport, investigating the prevalence and future trajectory of working-from-home (WFH) practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study assessed WFH as a demand management tool for mitigating congestion across transport networks and evaluated its productivity implications for Australian workers and employers.

His work has been published in leading journals including Transportation Research Part A, Energy Economics, Review of Income and Wealth, Journal of Economic Surveys, Economic Modelling, World Economy, Open Economies Review, Energy Policy, Energy Reports, and the North American Journal of Economics and Finance, among others.

Long holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Western Australia, supported by an Australian Government Postgraduate Research Award, and a Master of Commerce in Finance from Victoria University of Wellington, funded by a New Zealand Government ASEAN Scholar Award.
