Rabindra Nath Bhattacharya (born January 11, 1937) is a mathematician/statistician at the University of Arizona. He works in the fields of probability theory and theoretical statistics where he has made fundamental contributions to long-standing problems in both areas. Most notable are (1) his solution to the multidimensional rate of convergence problem for the central limit theorem in his Ph.D. thesis published in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society and further elaborated in a research monograph written jointly with R. Ranga Rao and (2) the solution of the validity of the formal Edgeworth expansion in collaboration with J.K. Ghosh in 1978. He has also contributed significantly to the theory and application of Markov processes, including numerous co-authored papers on problems in groundwater hydrology with Vijay K. Gupta, and in economics with Mukul Majumdar. Most recently his research has focused on nonparametric statistical inference on manifolds and its applications.
He is a co-author of three graduate texts and four research monographs. A comprehensive selection of Bhattacharya's work is available in a special 2016 Contemporary Mathematicians volume published by Birkhäuser. He is married to Bithika Gouri Bhattacharya, with a daughter, a son, and four grandchildren.
