Rajib Choudhury

Dr. Rajib Choudhury serves as Associate Professor of Chemistry within the Department of Chemistry, College of STEM at Arkansas Tech University. He leads the Choudhury Research Group, focusing on multidisciplinary photochemistry applications in biological systems.

His academic credentials include:

• B.S. from Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya
• M.S. from Indian Institute of Technology
• Ph.D. from University of Miami

Research spans Supramolecular Chemistry, Bio- and Chemo-Sensors, and Photochemistry, with emphasis on designing photoactive compounds for biomedical use. Key projects examine pH-responsive photochemistry, protein detection in complex samples, and computational modeling of macromolecular interactions—integrating synthetic chemistry, analytical techniques, and theoretical calculations to optimize compound functionality.

Dr. Choudhury actively mentors undergraduates in comprehensive research cycles from molecular design to publication. Recent student achievements include journal publications and admissions to advanced programs at Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M University.

The Choudhury Research Group provides intensive training in organic synthesis, photochemical experimentation, and computational analysis within a collaborative STEM environment focused on developing next-generation photochemical tools for biological applications.
