Rabindra Nath Acharyya is a researcher in the field of pharmaceutical sciences and is currently working at the interface of materials chemistry and nanotechnology, with a focus on advanced functional nanomaterials for catalytic and biomedical applications. He obtained his B.Pharm. (Hons.) and M.Pharm. degrees from Khulna University, Bangladesh, in 2016 and 2018, respectively. He began his academic career in 2018 by joining the Pharmacy Discipline at Khulna University as a Lecturer, where he was actively involved in teaching, student supervision, and academic activities. He was promoted to the position of Assistant Professor in the same Pharmacy Discipline in 2020. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, University of Tsukuba, Japan, under the prestigious MEXT scholarship. In parallel, he is affiliated with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) as a NIMS Junior Researcher in the Supermolecules Group.
His research interests include metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived nanomaterials, carbon-based nanostructures, electrocatalysis, nanodrug delivery systems, natural product-based therapeutics, computational drug design, and molecular simulations. Through his interdisciplinary research, he aims to develop innovative functional materials and therapeutic strategies with potential applications in environmental remediation, energy conversion, drug delivery, and biomedicine.
