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 for 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, the Optoelectronic Components and Materials Group, researches various phenomena and devices related to electronic materials and optics. This involves the investigation of the basic physics of new semiconductor and organic materials, and the application of this knowledge to creating new optoelectronic devices. He is known for his numerous major contributions to organic electronics. His major research areas include OLEDs for displays and lighting, organic and compound semiconductor devices for solar cells, and exciton dynamics in organics. Some other fields of research include thin-film transistors, 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 top 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

Stephen Forrest has been a co-founder or founding participant in several companies, including Sensors Unlimited, Epitaxx, Inc., NanoFlex Power Corporation, Universal Display Corporation, and Apogee Photonics Inc. He is also on the Board of Directors and the Growth Technology Advisory Board of Applied Materials.[6] Additionally, in 2017, he was briefly selected as the interim Editor of Physical Review Applied.[7]
