About
Michael Coultis is a rising researcher in power electronics and space robotics, whose work bridges the gap between efficient energy transfer and autonomous systems. His primary research areas include capacitive power transfer (CPT), switched capacitor inverters, and robotic end-effector design for space infrastructure. Coultis made a notable contribution with his 2024 study on quantifying charge sharing loss in series/parallel switched capacitor (SPSC) inverters, a critical step toward enabling higher-frequency, lower-distortion inverters for modern electronics—a key challenge in capacitive power applications. His 2021 work on quasi-wireless CPT for secure data acquisition in space robotics addresses the trade-offs in robotic appendage design, proposing systems that can simultaneously collect samples, probe surfaces, and manipulate objects without compromising power or data integrity. Though early in his career, with each of his most-cited papers garnering 2 citations, Coultis is laying foundational work for efficient, multifunctional robotic systems in extreme environments. His research holds promise for advancing both terrestrial power electronics and autonomous space exploration technologies.
