About
Tyler Marcrum 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 in reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) and enabling efficient, high-speed switching. In his 2024 study on "Quantifying Charge Sharing Loss in Switched Capacitor Inverters for Capacitive Power Transfer Applications," Marcrum provides a foundational analysis of loss mechanisms in series/parallel switched capacitor (SPSC) inverters, a key contribution for improving CPT efficiency in compact, high-frequency systems. Earlier, his 2021 paper on "Quasi-Wireless Capacitive Power Transfer with Secure Data Acquisition for Robotic Systems in Space Infrastructure" tackles the unique demands of space exploration, proposing a novel method to combine power delivery and secure data transmission for robotic end effectors—enabling versatile sample collection, surface probing, and object manipulation without compromising mission parameters. Though his work is early-stage, with each paper garnering 2 citations, Marcrum’s research is poised to impact the design of next-generation power electronics and autonomous space systems. His interdisciplinary approach bridges electrical engineering and aerospace applications, offering practical solutions for high-reliability, low-loss systems in extreme environments.
