Mourning the loss of Dr. Andrei Sazonov

Wednesday, June 7, 2023

We recently received the very sad news that our former colleague, Dr. Andrei Sazonov, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.

Andrei was an electrical and computer engineering associate professor for over 12 years at Waterloo (2006 – 2018) and was well-known for his nanotechnology and thin film materials expertise. Andrei had a passion for sports – especially tennis – and loved to play in local games or tournaments when he could.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his spouse Ken, and his family and friends during this difficult time. Andrei’s family will hold a memorial service for him at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 17, at the Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home, Hart Chapel (1099 Gordon Street in Guelph).

To those who knew Andrei, we are so sorry for your loss. Please know that counselling services are available to help you deal with this sad news and can be arranged through Waterloo’s employee assistance planemployee extended health benefits and occupational health.

With sympathy,

Mary Wells & Kankar Bhattacharya
