Her recent publications show a clear trend toward analyzing contemporary Chinese political discourse and its translation, while maintaining historical depth through studies of early European sinology and China-Spain diplomatic history. The interdisciplinary nature of her work spans political science, linguistics, history, and cultural studies, reflecting her dual expertise in historical and linguistic methodologies.

Dr. Luo actively supervises students at all levels, from undergraduate theses on Chinese literature to doctoral research in linguistics and history.
