Dr. Mrityunjay Kumar Tiwari
(Assistant Professor)
Dr. Mrityunjay Kumar Tiwari did his Ph.D. in theoretical and computational chemistry from the CSIR- National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, under Dr. Kumar Vanka. His master’s and Bachelor’s studies are from IIT Bombay and Banaras Hindu University. He did his postdoctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Bhopal, under Dr. Rajesh K. Murarka.
The research interests of Dr. Tiwari cover a broad spectrum of theoretical and computational chemistry that includes deducing reaction mechanism of organic reactions, catalyst design, non-covalent interactions, exploring the roles of osmolytes on the stability and function of chemical and biological systems, etc., using first-principle calculations.
