Sam Coday

Sam Coday is the Emanuel E. Landsman (1958) Career Development Professor and Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at MIT. His research specializes in high-performance power converters for aerospace, renewable energy integration, and electric mobility applications.

Coday's work focuses on developing lightweight, efficient power conversion systems using capacitor-based and multilevel topologies. Recent innovations include radiation-tolerant converters for space robotics, GaN-based designs for aircraft propulsion, and wireless charging systems. His group actively explores thermal management, component miniaturization, and reliability engineering for extreme environments.

Publications demonstrate expertise in flying capacitor multilevel converters, resonant switching techniques, and aerospace power system qualification, with applications spanning electric aircraft, satellites, and terrestrial energy systems.
