Edward H. Sargent FRSC is a Canadian scientist, who serves as University Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering[1] and Vice-President of Research and Innovation, and Strategic Initiatives[2][3] at the University of Toronto. He also is the Canada Research Chair in Nanotechnology.[4] He will join the Departments of Chemistry and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University, and will be affiliated with the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern.[5]

Sargent has made contributions in the use of colloidal quantum dots and perovskite materials for optoelectronic devices, including photovoltaic cells,[6][7][8] photodetectors,[9][10] and light emitting materials.[11] Sargent has also published in the area of electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide.[12][13]

Sargent has been honored with multiple awards for his research, including a Killam Prize for Engineering in 2020,[14] the NSERC Brockhouse Award in Interdisciplinary Research and Engineering with Shana Kelley in 2016,[15][16] and the Steacie Prize in 2012.[17][18] He is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering,[19][20] Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[21]
