ING-IND/15

Laureato con lode in Ingegneria Meccanica nel 1999, dottorato in “Ingegneria dei sistemi avanzati di produzione”. Dal 2004 è di ruolo per il S.S.D. ING-IND/15 – “Disegno e Metodi dell’Ingegneria Industriale”, in servizio presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Gestionale del Politecnico di Bari(Dimeg). Il principale ambito di ricerca riguarda lo sviluppo e la sperimentazione di nuovi metodi e interfacce per il Computer Aided Design mediante Virtual e Augmented Reality, tangibile e multimodal interfaces. E’ stato visiting researcher presso il dipartimento A2 (applicazioni industriali) del Fraunhofer Istitute di Darmstadt (IGD) e dell’ presso l’ICG, Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria. Collabora attivamente a progetti internazionali (es. VEGA FP6 - SSA Project ACC e Smart Sketches IST-2000-28169) . Nel 2003 l’INI-GraphicsNet, (http://www.inigraphics.net), ha insignito Michele Fiorentino del premio “Best Paper Award”. E’ revisore di giornali e conferenze internazionali come CAD Journal (Elsevier) e ASME.

Michele Fiorentino received his BS and MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Bari, Italy, in 1999, the PhD degree in Advanced Manufacturing Systems from the Polytechnic Institute of Bari, Bari, Italy, in 2003.
