Professor Ted Sargent
Vice-President International and Professor of Engineering, University of Toronto

cordially invites you to a reception and thought-provoking presentation on: 

The future of clean energy – and getting there faster using artificial intelligence.

Developing clean energy is one of the most pressing needs facing the world. Solar cells and wind turbines have made renewable electricity increasingly cost-effective, but society needs to accelerate further its progress to cleaning up (decarbonizing) its energy supply. Professor Sargent will explain some of the latest trends in this area, including making higher-efficiency solar cells using new nanomaterials; and accelerating progress by marrying robotics, computers, big data, and machine learning.

An accessible and engaging speaker, Professor Sargent addresses through his research many areas of nanotechnology and its applications in communications and computing, medicine, and tapping new energy sources.  His research has been cited more than 32,000 times and has been published in the world’s top scientific journals.  Building on his scientific leadership, Professor Sargent is founder of three companies: InVisage Technologies, Xagenic and QDSolar.  As Vice-President, International for the University, Professor Sargent is leading U of T’s internationalization efforts including the establishment of a new U of T centre in India.
