About
Samantha Coday is an emerging researcher specializing in advanced power electronics for space applications, with a particular focus on high step-down voltage converters and switched-capacitor converter topologies. Her work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in next-generation robotic space exploration: delivering efficient, lightweight, and radiation-tolerant power conversion systems in mass-critical environments. Coday's most notable contributions include the design and implementation of GaN-based hybrid switched-capacitor DC-DC converters, including a capacitively-isolated hybrid Dickson topology and a composite hybrid switched-capacitor architecture, both engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of space. Her research on an 840 V-to-120 V flying capacitor multilevel converter further demonstrates her commitment to pushing the boundaries of high conversion ratio power electronics optimized for minimal mass — a critical constraint in space robotics. With a growing body of work accumulating citations across multiple publications, Coday is establishing herself as a contributor to the intersection of wide-bandgap semiconductor technology and space power systems. Her research holds significant promise for enabling future planetary exploration missions where reliable, efficient onboard power conversion is essential to mission success.
