Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay is a Senior Scientist at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan. He completed his Ph.D. in Supramolecular Electronics at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, 2005. From 2005 to 2008 he was an independent researcher, as an ICYS research fellow at the International Center for Young Scientists (ICYS), NIMS, Japan, where he worked on the brain-like bio-processor building. In 2008, he joined as a permanent scientist at NIMS, working on the cavity resonator model of human brain and design synthesis of brain-like organic jelly. From 2013 to 2014 he was a visiting Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. He has received several honors, such as the Hitachi Science and Technology award 2010, Inamori Foundation award 2011–2012, Kurata Foundation Award, Inamori Foundation Fellow (2011–), and Sewa Society international member, Japan. He has patented ten inventions such as (i) a time crystal model for building an artificial human brain, (ii) geometric-musical language to operate a fractal tape to replace the Turing tape, (iii) fourth circuit element that is not memristor, (iii) cancer and Alzheimer’s drug, (iv) nano-submarine as a working factory and nano-surgeon, (vi) fractal condensation based synthesis, (vii) a thermal noise harvesting chip, (viii) a new generation of molecular rotors, (ix) spontaneous self-programmable synthesis (programmable matter), and (x) fractal grid scanner for dielectric imaging. He has also designed and built multiple machines and technologies, (i) Terahertz (THz)-magnetic nano-sensor, (ii) a new class of fusion resonator antennas etc. Currently, he is building time crystal based artificial brain using three ways, (i) knots of darkness made of fourth circuit element, (ii) integrated circuit design, and (iii) organic supramolecular structure.
