Stephen R. Forrest is an American physicist and academic with contributions to organic electronics and optoelectronics.
Stephen R. Forrest completed his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972.
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.
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.
Some other fields of research include thin-film transistors, photodetection, polaritons and strong optical coupling.
