Sergio Carbajo (born October 4, 1985) is an assistant professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with concurrent faculty appointments in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the Department of Physics & Astronomy. He founded and directs the Quantum Light-Matter Cooperative (QLMC) at UCLA, a consortium focusing on understanding, designing, and controlling light-driven physical processes to help solve interconnected socio-technological challenges. He is a faculty member of the California NanoSystems Institute and the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE), a multi-institutional program that coordinates research and develops new teaching approaches in quantum information science. The CQSE will have a new research center in the upcoming UCLA Research Park, which was announced near the end of December 2023.

He is also a visiting professor at Stanford University’s Photon Science Division at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Sergio Carbajo’s research is characterized as that of a "quantum documentarian." He helps create videos of molecules in action, capturing atomic and molecular motions as they dissociate and transform. These films, created with atomic-level resolution and ultrafast snapshots, produce numerous frames that depict quantum-level interactions.

Carbajo is also a strong advocate for equity in STEM disciplines and actively works to promote underrepresented backgrounds and diverse ways of knowing and learning. He is the Director of Diversity for UCLA’s Electrical & Computer Engineering department. Carbajo is also the founder of UCLA’s Queered Science and Technology Center (QSTC), which focuses on frameworks that address issues of diversity and critical representation in STEM through queer, radical feminist, and black analyses of the impact of science & technology in society.
