Prof. Eng. Antonio D. LUDOVICO
The Network of Laboratories TISMA consists of three Research Units (R.U.1, R.U.2, R.U.3); the first two research units are located at the Department of Mechanical & Management Engineering (DIMeG) of Politecnico di Bari, the third research unit is located at the Department of Engineering for Innovation of Università del Salento. The three units synergically study hybrid welding technologies applied to the junction of innovative materials.
