Todd Sutherland is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Simon Fraser University (1997) and a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry from the University of Victoria (2002). His research focuses on organic and physical chemistry, particularly in the development of supramolecular assemblies and their applications in biological processes. His group investigates the use of supramolecular chemistry to mimic biological photosynthesis and enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic devices. This involves synthesizing a variety of porphyrin and quinone derivatives that self-assemble into oligomeric structures, which utilize strong, multi-contact hydrogen bonds. Professor Sutherland's research aims to understand the organization of supramolecular assemblies on electrode surfaces and their role in charge transfer processes, employing a range of techniques including electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. He has received several awards for his teaching excellence, including the Department of Chemistry Teaching Award in 2016 and the Faculty of Science Teaching Award in 2009 at the University of Calgary.
