Bandipora Teacher Publishes Book on AI Applications in Quantum Computational Chemistry
A school teacher from Bandipora has authored a significant book exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum computational chemistry. Titled “AI in Quantum Computational Chemistry: Bridging Intelligence & Molecular Reality”, the work was released globally on July 18 and is available through major platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart.
Ulfat Nazir, who teaches at the Army Goodwill School in Aragam, Bandipora, completed the manuscript in March 2025 after dedicating over a year to research and writing. Her book examines how AI and machine learning models accelerate molecular simulations, predict chemical reactions, and assist in designing new compounds—efforts that can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with chemical experiments.
Bringing AI into Quantum Chemistry
Quantum computational chemistry deals with atomic and molecular interactions at the quantum scale, a field known for its complexity. The integration of AI techniques has begun transforming this space by improving simulation accuracy and speeding up research processes. The book details AI’s role in enhancing simulations and its potential impact on industries such as pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, and advanced materials.
Researchers see AI as a tool to cut down years of laboratory work by automating prediction and design tasks. Ulfat’s book provides insights into current AI methodologies and their practical applications, making it a valuable resource for researchers and postgraduate students in chemistry and computer science.
Accessible Knowledge for Researchers and Students
Though primarily aimed at academics and researchers, the book is structured to be accessible to students interested in computational chemistry and AI applications in natural sciences. Ulfat’s background adds to the book’s relevance—coming from Garoora, a village in North Kashmir, she is among the few scholars from the region who have published work on such a specialized topic.
Her teaching approach is noted for being practical and research-driven, encouraging students to extend learning beyond the standard curriculum. The local response to her achievement has been positive, highlighting a growing interest in advanced scientific research among youth in Kashmir.
Wider Implications and Availability
The release coincides with an increasing use of AI across multiple fields, such as healthcare and agriculture. In chemistry, AI is being tested to streamline drug discovery, reducing timelines from decades to just a few years. The book is available on major online platforms and is being catalogued in university and research libraries worldwide.
By making the content widely accessible, Ulfat aims to support both specialists and students who want to stay updated on the latest developments in computational chemistry enhanced by AI.
