Vincenzo Lunetto

Vincenzo Lunetto is a part-time lecturer at the Department of Management and Production Engineering (DIGEP) of Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO). He also serves as a member of the Interdepartmental Center J-Tech@PoliTO and has held visiting researcher roles at the University of New South Wales (2019-2020) and contract professorship at Libera Università di Bolzano (2018-2019).

• Current affiliation: PoliTO (DIGEP)
• Secondary roles: J-Tech@PoliTO center member
• International experience: UNSW (Australia), Bolzano (Italy)

His research focuses on sustainable manufacturing practices, particularly additive manufacturing (powder bed fusion, electron beam systems), friction stir welding (tool design, process parameters), and energy consumption modeling. He investigates microstructural properties of welded components and sustainability implications across production systems.

Recent publications highlight neural network-based energy prediction in additive manufacturing, defect analysis in dissimilar welding joints using 3D X-ray tomography, and comparative studies on hybrid manufacturing processes. His work spans both experimental and computational approaches to optimize energy efficiency and material performance.
