Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay is a Senior Scientist in the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan. Ph.D. from Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata 2005, on supramolecular electronics. During 2005–2008 selected as Independent Researcher, ICYS Research Fellow in the International Center for Young Scientists (ICYS), NIMS, Japan, he worked on brain-like bio-processor building. In 2007, he started as permanent Scientist in NIMS, working on the cavity resonator model of human brain and brainlike organic jelly. During 2013–2014 he was a visiting professor in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. He has received many honors such as Hitachi Science and Technology award 2010, Inamori Foundation award 2011–2012, Kurata Foundation Award, Inamori Foundation Fellow (2011-), Sewa Society International member, Japan etc.  Geometric phase space model of a human brain argues to replace Turing tape with a fractome tape, and built a new geometric-musical language which is made to operate that tape. Built prime metric has to replace space-time metric. Designed and built multiple machines and technologies include: (1) angstrom probe for neuron signals, (2) dielectric imaging of neuron firing, (3) single protein and its complex structure’s resonant imaging, and (4) fourth circuit element Hinductor. A new frequency fractal model is built to represent biological machines. His group has designed and synthesized several forms of organic brain jelly (programmable matter) that learns, programs and solves problems by itself for futuristic robots during 2000–2014, also several software simulators that write complex codes by itself.
