About
Matthew G. S. Pearce is a researcher advancing the frontiers of power electronics and space robotics, with a focus on capacitive power transfer (CPT) and high-frequency inverter design. His work addresses critical challenges in modern electronics, particularly the need for higher switching speeds and reduced total harmonic distortion (THD). In his 2024 paper, "Quantifying Charge Sharing Loss in Switched Capacitor Inverters for Capacitive Power Transfer Applications," Pearce provides a rigorous analysis of loss mechanisms in series/parallel switched capacitor (SPSC) inverters, offering design insights that enable more efficient, compact power systems for emerging applications like wireless charging. This work has garnered 2 citations, reflecting its niche but growing impact. Pearce also explores the intersection of power and robotics in his 2021 study, "Quasi-Wireless Capacitive Power Transfer with Secure Data Acquisition for Robotic Systems in Space Infrastructure," where he proposes a novel CPT system that simultaneously delivers power and transmits data for robotic end effectors in space missions. This innovation addresses the tradeoff between sample collection, surface probing, and object manipulation—a persistent challenge in space exploration. Pearce’s contributions are notable for bridging theoretical loss analysis with practical, mission-critical applications, positioning him as a rising voice in CPT and space robotics.
