Dr. P. Russo Spena is associate professor of Manufacturing Technology and Systems at the Department of Management and Production Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino (Torino, Italy). Prof. Russo Spena received his M.Sc. in Materials Engineering and his Ph.D. in Industrial Production Systems Engineering (topic: metallurgical engineering) from Politecnico di Torino (Italy). His research interests are in the field of welding engineering. Prof. Russo Spena has a long experience in welding of steels and welded joint characterization. Currently, his work focuses on understanding the relationships between welding processes and mechanical/microstructural properties of welded joints, especially for the automotive industry. This research involves the use of several welding (e.g. arc, laser, spot, friction stir welding) and characterization techniques. Prof. Russo Spena is member of several national and international scientific organizations. He has published more than 60 articles in refereed journals, conference proceedings and book chapters.
