Title of the Project AI Virtual Assistant to Facilitate Scientific Literature Review
Project Keywords Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Assistant, Literature Review
Are you currently looking for research assistants? No
Number of Research Assistants Needed 2
Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) STEM majors, ideally: student 1 studying Physics or Electrical Engineering and student 2 in Computer Science or Information Systems, or related fields.
Project Location: Magnet Lab, 1800 E. Paul Dirac Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32310
If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? Tallahassee bus stop at the intersection of E. Paul Dirac Dr. and Levy ave.
Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Partially Remote
Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 5-10
Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)
Overall Research Project Description The goal of the project is to construct a database, a task of significant importance, by entering data from reviewed scholarly publications. This database will serve as a valuable resource in the field of cryogenic preamplifiers.
A student, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, will build a comprehensive publicly available database of transistors used for cryogenic preamplifiers worldwide.
Research Tasks The student activity will include but not be limited to the following steps:
1. Find articles/publications that mention a specific type of transistor in the text.
2. Review the articles, finding where a transistor model is mentioned, and summarize it, indicating a publication, page number, and other details agreed upon. AI will be used in this step.
3. By entering data, create a usable database that will serve as a foundation for a more detailed review of transistors.
4. Conduct a search for datasheets for the transistors.
5. Summarize transistor properties and usage conditions. AI will be used in this step.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required:
• Programming skills in Python (or willing to gain them).
• General knowledge of AI and conversational agent concepts and techniques.
• Good communication and writing skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Passion and curiosity for research and innovation.
• Attention to detail.
Recommended:
• Literature review skills
• Analytical skills
Mentoring Philosophy I would like this UROP experience to be rewarding and impactful for both of us. I consider the following elements to be critical success factors:
1. Knowing my mentees and understanding their academic and career aspirations would allow me to tailor and personalize my guidance, increase student motivation, and establish a connection with the research project. Assessing their strengths and weaknesses (more likely first through the self-assessment survey in Qualtrics followed by the face-to-face conversation) would be a solid foundation for me to prepare and provide relevant training resources and support the person more effectively. It will also help both of us to manage expectations.
2. Preparing and sharing resources that are required for overall research skills development and the project specifically. Resources will include, but not be limited to FSU libraries, FSU workshops, online tutorials, and my curated resources.
3. Engaging in active, hands-on research experiences would contribute to developing curio
Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable): https://nationalmaglab.org/staff/?name=AlexeySuslov
Please add any additional information here (if applicable): Technology:
• It is expected that students have their own computers.
• Library search software, AI tools, and prompt engineering strategies will be introduced.
Benefits for the student participants:
• Gain valuable hands-on experience in a cutting-edge research project in an active world-class research facility.
• Enhance your skills and knowledge in AI and conversational agents.
