About
Sanghyeon Park is a pioneering researcher in micro-robotics and power electronics, specializing in high-voltage power conversion for miniature aerial systems. His work addresses a critical bottleneck in centimeter-scale flying robots: the severe limitations of in-flight battery life. Park’s key contributions center on developing ultra-lightweight, high-voltage generators and DC-DC converters that enable novel behaviors like untethered electroadhesive perching. His most cited paper (2020, 39 citations) introduces a compact high-voltage generator that allows micro air vehicles to attach to surfaces without consuming flight power, dramatically extending operational endurance. In his 2019 work (14 citations), Park advanced miniature high-voltage converters using megahertz-frequency class-E inverters paired with Dickson and Cockcroft-Walton multipliers, achieving 40V-to-2kV conversion in a package small enough for space and micro-robotic applications. These innovations have significant implications for surveillance, environmental monitoring, and space exploration, where weight and size are at a premium. Park’s research stands at the intersection of power electronics and robotics, offering elegant solutions that push the boundaries of what small-scale autonomous systems can achieve.
