Dr Andy Yew
Senior Research Fellow,
Division of Musculoskeletal Sciences,
Singapore General Hospital
Dr Andy Yew is a Senior Research Fellow with the Division of Musculoskeletal Sciences at Singapore General Hospital and an Adjunct Associate Professor at Duke-NUS. He obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2004 with his study on contact mechanics and lubrication study of metal-on-metal hip implants.
His main research interests include biomechanics, finite element analysis (FEA), and orthopaedic innovation. For biomechanics, Dr Yew is involved in motion analysis studies related to orthopaedic conditions and its respective treatment such as gait analysis before and after TKA, as well as mechanical strength characterisation of surgical repair techniques using experimental testing.
Apart from laboratory and experimental testing, Dr Yew also participates in projects that utilise finite element modelling and analysis to investigate mechanical stress and strain as well as contact mechanics in bone-implant construct models.
From his research experience and close collaborations with clinicians and research partners, he dabbles in orthopaedic innovations such as wearables, new implant designs or surgical tools and technology.
