Welcome to the Precision Motion Control Laboratory!

The Precision Motion Control group at MIT conducts research in the design of electromechanical systems for precise positioning applications such as semiconductor photolithography, high-speed machine tools, and scanned probe microscopy. Our group's strengths in electro mechanics, controls, and mechanical design complement the more traditional mechanical engineering disciplines to allow us to develop novel machines, actuators, and sensors for advanced manufacturing processes.

This webpage catalogs the goings on at the Precision Motion Control Laboratory. This website contains information on our fearless leader, Professor David L. Trumper, as well as all of the students currently working in the lab. Inevitably, our students graduate to do better things (and hopefully get an office with a window), but we keep their info around for when we feel nostalgic (check out the Alumni page for more info). We also have detailed descriptions of all the projects that we are currently working on, and those we have finished as well. We hope that you find the information contained in this website useful and invite you to contact us at any time for further discussion. Enjoy!
