Abstract

‎Growing up in South Tehran‎, ‎Ali Reza Ashrafi had a fascination with the application of mathematics in other sciences‎, ‎particularly the symmetry of molecules‎, ‎despite having no formal training in the subject‎.
‎Ashrafi was a prominent mathematician who made significant contributions to the study of symmetry in molecular graphs‎. ‎His work on this subject has had a profound impact on the field of chemistry‎, ‎helping chemists to better understand the structure and properties of molecules‎.
‎With great enthusiasm‎, ‎Ashrafi explains to his students that the symmetry group plays a significant role in everything and that symmetry can be used to predict or explain many of a molecule's chemical properties‎.
