One of the few Scientist that Ethiopia lost to the U.S
=============================
Dr. Solomon Bililign was born in Dessie, Ethiopia. He did his first and sec...ond degree in Physics at Addis Ababa University and taught there as a lecturer for several years
As young teacher he was imprisoned in Ethiopia during the “Red Terror” era for what he had said against the regime of the time in class and his father died in a car accident on his way to visit his son in prison. He left the country in 1987 to pursue a PhD in Physics at the University of Iowa and a two year postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Utah department of Chemistry. Dr. Solomon Bililign is now a professor of Physics at North Carolina A&T State University (NCA&T) and designated Atomic scientist since 1993.
In 2011 he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering from President Barack Obama in a White House ceremony. In 2001-2003 he was named "Outstanding Senior Researcher” for NCA&T and won the Interdisciplinary Team Award for NCA&T in 2012. In 2012 he received the Interdisciplinary team award from NCA&T.
Dr. Solomon Bililign received over 15 million in grants that include very competitive and prestigious awards like NSF-CAREER, NSF-PIRE and NSF-MRI. In 2005 he lead a team of thirty-one scientists and engineers in eight institutions to win a $12.5 million award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to establish the NOAA-ISET Center where he is a director.
