I am Rachit Kamdar, a PhD candidate in Information Systems at the University of Maryland, College Park.

My research focuses on the business implications of emerging technologies, particularly in online platforms and hiring. My research is deeply interdisciplinary, integrating perspectives from economics, psychology, and other social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of technology’s role in our society. Methodologically, I employ a diverse set of techniques, including causal inference, machine learning, deep learning (Large Language Models and Agentic AI), as well as laboratory and field experiments.

Before embarking on my PhD journey, I graduated from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata with a master degree in Quantitative Economics, and a bachelor degree in Economics from St. Xaviers College, Kolkata. I also gained industry experience working in financial services, which provided me with valuable insights into real-world applications of my academic training.

I am on the 2025-2026 job market.
