Marco Musardo is currently a Scientific Staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the Insertion Device Group for the National Synchrotron Light Source II Project. Marco Musardo's responsibility and research have been focusing on the magnetic design, field optimization, magnetic field characterization and tuning of different types of insertion devices: Planar hybrid in-air Wigglers/Undulators, Elliptically Polarizing Undulators (EPU), In-Vacuum Undulators (IVU) and Superconducting Undulator (SCU)
Prior to Brookhaven, he joined Elettra Synchrotron Light Source Laboratory in Italy in 2005, where he worked as an Insertion Devices physicist for six years in the framework of FERMI@Elettra project for the development of a Free Electron Laser facility (FEL).
