Sen Yan

I am an Assistant Professor in Management at Peking University HSBC Business School in Shenzhen, China. I received my Ph.D. in Information Systems from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2026. Before my doctoral studies, I earned a bachelor's degree in Financial Management with a minor in Computer Science from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

My research lies within computational design science, a research tradition in Information Systems. I develop AI-based systems for construct validation, theory development, and knowledge discovery, combining large language models, multimodal deep learning, and graph neural networks with domain expertise. My work also examines applications such as AI-generated content detection.
