On completion of his five-year term, he was reappointed as the vice chancellor in 2012[7] and held the position until May, 2017.[8]

Chaudhuri's researches have been focused on the synthesis of dioxygen complexes and fluorine compounds of metals and non-metals.[9] He has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals[note 1] and Indian Academy of Sciences have listed 88 of them in their online repository.[10] Under his leadership, Tezpur University have developed into a major centre of learning in India and received the Visitor's Award for the Best University from the President of India in 2016.[11] He has been associated with the Department of Science and Technology, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the University Grants Commission of India as well as the state and union government bodies as an expert committee member and has organized many refresher courses and seminars at the university and outside.[12][13] He was also a member of the Indo-US Higher Education Dialogue of 2014[14] and the Inspire program on Mathematics of the Department of Science and Technology.[15]
