Sameer I. Junaid

Senior Digital Media Specialist III, Laboratory Technical Support & Services

As a Senior Media and System Analyst at CPG, I leverage my expertise in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and digital media to empower research and education within the College of Petroleum Engineering & Geosciences (CPG). I spearheaded the integration of operational processes into LIMS, establishing new functionalities and optimizing workflows. Through collaboration with multiple departments, I ensured data integrity and system validation while contributing to corporate LIMS management. My commitment to efficiency extends to streamlining laboratory procedures, creating SOPs within the LIMS Laboratory Execution System (LES), and maintaining comprehensive operating documentation. I actively analyze data to formulate ad-hoc reports and key performance indicators, driving informed decision-making. As a selected author and presenter at IPTC 2020, I championed CPG’s digital transformation journey, sharing insights on optimizing laboratory operations through LIMS implementation. My passion lies in bridging the gap between technology and scientific advancement, and I thrive in environments where innovation plays a central role.

Beyond LIMS, I’m the architect behind the CPG website and social media channels, and I’m at the forefront of content development via photography, videography, and poster design.
