Alessio Bosio graduated in physics from the University of Parma in 1986 with a thesis on CuInSe₂-based solar cells. Since then, he has worked at the Thin Film Laboratory (ThiFiLab) of the Department of Mathematical, Physical, and Computer Sciences. With over 30 years of experience in photovoltaic materials and thin-film device technology, he has contributed significantly to research on polycrystalline thin-film solar cells and electroluminescent devices. His work on CuInGaSe₂/CdS and CdTe/CdS solar cells achieved efficiencies above 16%, among the highest efficiency/cost ratios for these devices.
He has expertise in thin-film deposition techniques, including magnetron sputtering (RF, DC, pulsed DC), electron beam deposition, and close-spaced sublimation (CSS). Since 1990, he has been a member of the Italian National Institute of Matter Physics and participated in several European and National research projects (Joule, ALPINE, Industry 2015). He has presented at numerous international conferences, including over ten invited talks, and served as an invited editor and book author on thin-film photovoltaics.
Alessio Bosio is co-inventor of ten international patents related to CdTe/CdS and CuInGaSe₂/CdS solar cells, some of which contributed to the foundation of Arendi SpA. Since 2010, he has led ThiFiLab and various national and European projects. He has published over 100 articles in high-impact journals and has been an Associate Editor for Solar Energy since 2015.
