When you use "learned" as an adjective for a person, it means that the person has a lot of knowledge and studied for a long time. You don't use "learned" for a person who has done only a little studying. " Here is one possible correction for your "bad work": professor who has studied and gained much knowledge

Hi Lkshwadeep,The trouble with the "learned professor" is that it is not accepted as educated man can.It is hard to associate learned professor with its meaning, unless .the learned used as "has learned".

why don't you use,
the knowledge that has been acquired.

I would spare "by him" for brevity
