Marco Musardo is currently a member of the scientific staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory, working in the Insertion Device Group for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) project. His responsibilities and research focus on the magnetic design, field optimization, characterization, and tuning of a variety of insertion devices, including planar hybrid in-air wigglers and undulators, elliptically polarizing undulators (EPUs), in-vacuum undulators (IVUs), and superconducting undulators (SCUs). Prior to joining Brookhaven, Marco worked at the Elettra Synchrotron Light Source Laboratory in Italy, where he served as an insertion device physicist from 2005 to 2011. During this time, he contributed to the FERMI@Elettra project, supporting the development of a state-of-the-art free-electron laser (FEL) facility.
