Actually he is responsible for his area in the Industrial Engineering course at the Polytechnic seat located in Taranto. Graduated in Mechanics Engineering at the Polytechnic of Bari, Italy in November 1998, he started his career with the Ph.D. Degree (November 1998 – October 2001) in "Advanced Production Systems" in the Department of Mechanical and Management Engineering of the Polytechnic of Bari. In 2002 he started to take part as researcher in many national and international research projects. From 2001 he is member of AITEM (Italian Society of Manufacturing Engineering). The scientific activity has developed itself mainly in the area of sheet joining by means of innovative technologies, such as Laser Welding and Friction Stir Welding. Some works have been addressed to the non conventional manufacturing processes, with particular emphasis to the water jet technologies and plasma. He wrote many national and international articles. His theoretical and experimental scientific activities have concerned the fundamental branches of mechanical technology
