About

Anandhan Dhanasingh is a leading researcher in auditory neuroscience and cochlear implant technology, with a primary focus on the biomechanics and personalized surgical planning for hearing restoration. His work centers on understanding cochlear anatomy to improve implant outcomes, particularly through the use of micro-computed tomography (μCT) imaging. Dhanasingh’s major contribution is his pioneering study on cochlear size assessment, which demonstrates that the volume of the scala tympani and the length of the cochlear basal turn can predict electrode insertion forces—a critical factor for robotic-assisted cochlear implant surgery. This research, published in 2021 and cited 23 times, provides a quantitative framework to minimize trauma during implantation, advancing the field toward safer, patient-specific procedures. Additionally, his 2022 review on recent advances in cochlear implants highlights emerging technologies and future directions. Dhanasingh’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for surgeons and engineers. His findings have significant implications for developing automated surgical tools, making him a key figure in the evolution of precision otology.
