About
Chee Wee Gan is a researcher at the forefront of robotic ear surgery, specializing in the delicate mechanics of middle ear interventions. His work focuses on optimizing surgical precision for treating otitis media with effusion (OME), a common pediatric condition. Gan’s major contributions include developing a nonlinear contact force model for precision motion control in surgical devices, specifically the Ventilation Tube Applicator used to insert grommets into the tympanic membrane (TM). His most cited paper, “Optimization of the penetrative path during grommet insertion in a robotic ear surgery” (2019, 13 citations), addresses the critical challenge of minimizing TM trauma through refined insertion trajectories. In related work (2019, 4 citations), he advanced control strategies that integrate force feedback to enhance device reliability. Though his citation counts reflect a focused, emerging impact, Gan’s research is notable for bridging robotics and otology—a niche with high clinical relevance. His achievements include modeling the complex contact dynamics of TM penetration, a step toward safer, automated ear surgeries. For students and researchers, Gan’s work exemplifies how precise mechanical modeling can transform surgical outcomes in high-stakes, micro-scale procedures.
