Sir Richard Henry Friend (born 18 January 1953) FRS FREng is Cavendish Professor at the University of Cambridge and Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor at the National University of Singapore. Friend's research concerns the physics and engineering of carbon-based semiconductors.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

Education

Friend was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge,[1] gaining a PhD in 1979.[16]

Research

Friend's research has been applied to development of polymer field effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic diodes, optically pumped lasing and directly printed polymer transistors. He pioneered the study of organic polymers and the electronic properties of molecular semiconductors. He is also one of the principal investigators in the new Cambridge-based Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC) on nanotechnology and co-founder of Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) and Plastic Logic. Friend has over 600 publications and more than 20 patents.

Friend’s research has been used to develop flat panel displays and future screens that can be rolled and transported. He is the founder of the company Cambridge Display Technology Ltd to capitalise and bring to market the first products using this latest semiconductor technology.

Friend's brother Peter Friend is a professor of transplantation and director of the Oxford Transplant Centre.

Awards

In March 2003 Friend won the IEE's Faraday Medal. He was knighted for "services to physics" in the Queen's Birthday Honours, 2003.

In 2010, Friend was elected as one of the three laureates of Millennium Technology Prize for the development of plastic electronics.[17]

In 2011 he was awarded the Harvey Prize of the Technion in Israel.[18] He is a fellow of St John's College, Cambridge.
