I am Rachit Chhaya, currently an Assistant Professor at Dhirubhai Ambani University, formerly, known as Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar, under the guidance of Prof. Anirban Dasgupta in 2022. I work in areas of Machine Learning and Data Science. My chief research interests lie constructing Coresets for Machine learning Problems involving regularization, fairness constraints etc. I am fortunate to collaborate with my advisor and friends, Jayesh Choudhari and Supratim Shit. 

Prior to joining Ph.D., I did by M. Tech in ICT from DA-IICT Gandhinagar, working with Prof. Prasenjit Majumder and B. Tech in I.T. from Nirma University. 

I am passionate about teaching.  Currently I teach courses like machine learning and approximation algorithms. Apart from research and academia, my hobbies include reading (mostly fiction), quizzing and watching Tennis, Cricket and Football.
