1. Objective: The project aims to enable scientists to search for any kind of information in the literature in an unstructured, natural language format without being limited to predefined use cases. This is intended to go beyond the limitations of existing tools and allow for more comprehensive and tailored responses to scientific queries1.
2. Development: A first version of a scientific discovery solution has already been developed for two medicinal chemistry synthesis use cases of yield and purity improvement. The developed solution achieves good performance but is restricted to those specific use cases1.
3. Proposal: The proposed solution aims to allow scientists to extract insights for any use case within the medicinal chemistry domain. The ultimate goal is to enable users to effortlessly and effectively extract summaries of relevant information1.
4. Phases: The project has multiple phases. For example, the SciDi Co-located Phase 2 involves the integration of upcoming versions of the API, accommodation of additional user requirements, and resolution of issues or improvements gathered during user testing2.
5. Team and Collaboration: The project is part of the Pfizer CDI Open Innovation Team, led by Anastasia Matonaki and Stelios Andreadis. It involves collaboration with various stakeholders and aims to enhance visibility of the digital work managed by CDI teams3.
6. User Experience: There have been discussions and feedback sessions regarding the user experience of the SciDi platform, focusing on functionalities and usage patterns

Fotis Pastrakis played a significant role as a UI/UX Designer for the SciDi project, focusing on enhancing user engagement and improving the overall user experience. Here are some key contributions and activities he was involved in:

1. UI/UX Design:
   • Fotis was responsible for the UI/UX design of the SciDi project, dedicating 20% of his time to this co-located project endorsed by Nico Gariboldi for CDI1.
   • He worked on designing the user interface and user experience elements to ensure that the platform was intuitive and user-friendly1.
2. User Engagement Research:
   • Fotis conducted user interviews to gather insights on how users interact with the SciDi platform. He created scenarios for these interviews to understand user needs and preferences2.
   • During the interviews, he asked users to perform tasks such as creating queries, navigating the platform, and switching between different modes (e.g., question mode to extraction mode). He observed their interactions and gathered feedback on the clarity and usability of the design2.
   • He also focused on understanding the challenges users face when conducting scientific research and how the platform could address these challenges. This included exploring literature, downloading research papers, saving and retrieving citations, collaborating with colleagues, and conducting literature reviews345.
3. User Experience Questionnaire:
   • Fotis was involved in developing and refining a user experience questionnaire for the SciDi project. This questionnaire aimed to gather detailed information about users’ needs, preferences, and challenges345.
   • He collaborated with colleagues to ensure that the questions were relevant and specific to scientific discovery, and he made adjustments based on feedback6.
4. Feedback and Iteration:
   • Fotis actively participated in discussions and provided feedback on various aspects of the project. He replied to comments and suggestions from colleagues, ensuring that the design and user experience were continuously improved345.

Overall, Fotis Pastrakis’s contributions as a UI/UX Designer for the SciDi project were crucial in creating a user-centric platform that effectively addresses the needs of scientists and enhances their research experience
