Marco specialises in the laws of war and nuclear disarmament law. His book on nuclear weapon-free zones is so far the only book that comprehensively analyses this topic from an international law perspective. He is also the co-editor of Non-proliferation Law as a Special Regime (Cambridge University Press, 2012). His scholarship has appeared or is forthcoming in important peer-reviewed journals, including International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Journal of International Criminal Justice, Israel Law Review, Leiden Journal of International Law, Chinese Journal of International Law, Netherlands International Law Review, Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law, Heidelberg Journal of International Law, Revue générale de droit international public, as well as in several edited books.

In 2002, Marco was awarded a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) grant for a research stay at the Max-Planck Institut für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht, Heidelberg. He is currently the holder of a prestigious Leverhulme Research Fellowship to conduct his research on cyber warfare.
