About

Prasad Jayathurathnage is a researcher specializing in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, with a particular focus on advancing large-area, free-positioning charging solutions for mobile and autonomous devices. His work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern WPT technology: enabling efficient, consistent power delivery to receivers that move freely across wide operational areas, without the constraints of precise alignment or fixed charging pads. Jayathurathnage's most influential contribution, "Large-Area Free-Positioning Wireless Power Transfer to Movable Receivers" (2022), has garnered 59 citations and introduced a robust methodology for maintaining high efficiency across large charging zones — a breakthrough with direct applications in charging industrial robots, drones, and electric scooters. Building on this foundation, his 2025 paper on planar WPT systems for industrial and automotive robotics continues to tackle efficiency fluctuations and receiver orientation challenges that complicate real-world deployments. Through his research, Jayathurathnage is helping to eliminate the practical barriers that have long limited WPT adoption in dynamic, real-world environments. His work is particularly valuable for engineers and researchers developing next-generation autonomous systems that demand reliable, infrastructure-light power solutions.
