Talk Title: “Efficient and Responsible Use of CeNSE Central Facilities” 

Speaker : Ms. Sabiha Sultana, Chief Technologist - Head of Projects Office, CeNSE 

Date: 6th February 2026, Time : 4 PM 

Venue: CeNSE Seminar Hall  


Abstract: 

CeNSE’s central facilities are among the most advanced shared nanofabrication, characterization, 
and packaging infrastructures in the country. However, extracting their full value requires more 
than technical access; it demands planning, discipline, and a clear understanding of process ownership, 
timelines, and shared resource responsibility.  

Drawing on several years of experience leading the external projects of our centre and successfully 
executing a large number of academic, strategic, and industry-driven projects, this talk will outline practical 
strategies for using CeNSE facilities efficiently. The discussion will cover common pitfalls, best practices in 
process planning and booking, documentation and data discipline, coordination with technologists, and the mindset 
required to transition from exploratory experiments to reproducible outcomes.  


The goal is to appraise students and researchers with learned best practices and institutional knowledge to help 
accelerate their research while strengthening CeNSE’s culture of reliability, accountability, and excellence in 
shared infrastructure usage.
