Stephen R. Forrest is an American physicist and academic renowned for his contributions to organic electronics and optoelectronics. He is the Peter A. Franken Distinguished University Professor of Engineering and Paul G. Goebel Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Forrest's pioneering work in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells, and organic thin-film transistors has had significant impact on both the scientific community and the consumer electronics industry.
Early Career
Stephen R. Forrest completed his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972. He then earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Michigan in 1979, where he researched photodetectors and semiconductor materials. Following his Ph.D., Forrest joined Bell Labs as a member of technical staff, where in 1982, he became the Supervisor of the Integrated Optoelectronics Devices and Circuits Group. [1]
Academic Career
Forrest began his academic career as an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California in 1985, where he later became a professor and the Director fir the Center of Photonic Technology in 1989. In 1992, he moved to Princeton University as a Professor of Electrical Engineering, and later served as the Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department from 1997 to 2001.[1]
In 2006, Forrest joined the University of Michigan as the Vice President for Research, a position he held until 2014. He currently holds the positions of Peter A. Franken Distinguished University Professor and Paul G. Goebel Professor or Engineering, in Electrical Engineering, Physics and Materials Science and Engineering.[1]
Research
Stephen Forrest’s laboratory is interested in materials, physics and engineering for use in optical devices, notably devices useful for clean energy applications. Research areas include Organic Light Emitting Devices (OLEDs) for displays and lighting and organic and compound semiconductor devices for solar cells. Other optical phenomena being explored include photodetection, polaritons and strong optical coupling. [2]
Professor Forrest has authored over 620 papers in refereed journals and more than 390 patents.[3][4] As of 2024, Research.com ranks Stephen Forrest as the best electrical engineer in the United States (second best globally) when ranked by D-index (discipline h-index).[5] He has an h-index of 183 and over 182,000 citations.[2]
Companies
He is co-founder or founding participant in several companies, including Sensors Unlimited, Epitaxx, Inc., NanoFlex Power Corp. (OTC: OPVS), Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: OLED) and Apogee Photonics, Inc., and is on the Board of Directors and the Growth Technology Advisory Board of Applied Materials. [6]
