Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDenghui Zhang is a tenure-track assistant professor at Stevens Institute of Technology specializing in the intersection of data mining and business intelligence, with nine years of experience spanning academia and industry. He designs AI models that embed domain knowledge for business analytics and applies machine learning to uncover managerial insights across domains like online labor markets, M&A turnover, venture capital strategy, and e-commerce product linkage. Methodologically he focuses on graph representation learning, self-supervised methods, knowledge graphs, and large language models, adapting these techniques to real-world business problems. His work appears in top venues such as KDD, AAAI, ICDM and IEEE TKDE, and he maintains active ties to industry through internships and a stint as an applied scientist at Amazon. Based in New Jersey with a PhD from Rutgers, he blends rigorous empirical research with practical problem-solving, often translating complex models into actionable guidance for managers. An underappreciated strength is his dual emphasis on embedding domain knowledge into models and using models to generate domain theory, rather than treating the two as separate goals.
