About
Jonathan Cailliez is a researcher at the forefront of micro- and nanorobotics, specializing in the precise control of instruments at the smallest scales. His work primarily focuses on advanced control strategies for Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) and piezoelectric actuators, addressing critical challenges in high-precision manipulation and imaging. A key contribution is his development of a Model Predictive Control framework for inertia-actuated AFM probes operating inside a Scanning Electron Microscope, enabling autonomous obstacle avoidance and nanometer-resolution trajectory tracking—a significant leap for in-situ nanomanipulation. Additionally, his research on robust hybrid control of nonlinear piezoelectric actuators tackles the complex issue of bumpless switching to ensure system stability, offering a novel multi-model design for uncertain environments. While his most-cited works have garnered early recognition with 5 and 2 citations respectively, these foundational studies are paving the way for more reliable and autonomous nanoscale operations. Cailliez’s work is essential reading for engineers and scientists seeking to bridge the gap between theoretical control systems and practical, high-stakes applications in nanofabrication and microscopy.
