About the Editors
Ashish Tewari
Dr Tewari’s major field of research is Molecular Recognition and Medicinal Chemistry, with emphasis on the synthesis of bio active molecules, flexible molecules with aromatic back bones and synthesis of foldamers in order to study aromatic interactions. His research group’s aim is to understand the mechanism of aromatic interactions, and they are actively working in the synthesis of pyrazole, imidazole, pyridone, and pyridazine systems, where they have produced some particularly interesting results relating to solid state eclipsed and staggered stacked conformations.
