About |
Solomon Atta is a PhD researcher in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Youngstown State University, Ohio, USA. His research focuses on the development of low-cost, high-efficiency thin-film materials for solar energy and photoelectrochemical devices.
He works extensively on spray pyrolysis, a scalable deposition technique used to fabricate cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin films and other semiconductor materials for renewable energy applications. His work bridges experimental research and theoretical understanding of droplet dynamics, film formation, and crystallization processes in thin-film materials.
Solomon’s passion lies in advancing clean and sustainable energy technologies through innovative material-processing approaches that are accessible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. His recent review article, “Unraveling Spray Pyrolysis Mechanisms: Droplet Dynamics and Film Formation in CdTe Thin-Film Photocathodes,” was published in the Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology (2025).
Beyond research, Solomon actively engages in professional societies such as ASM International, MRS, and ACerS, and participates in community and campus initiatives promoting scientific innovation and renewable energy awareness.
