Biography

Ivan teaches medical and life sciences students and leads curriculum design for adult learning CET courses on topics related to exercise physiology and health. He is a strong proponent of contextualized and experiential learning and has received multiple Faculty Teaching Excellence Awards as well as NUS Honour roll in Teaching Excellence. In addition to his teaching commitments, Ivan runs a Human Performance and Applied Physiology laboratory in NUS and his main research interests lie in the area of thermoregulation and fluid balance to enhance human performance and cognition. He has a provisional patent filed for an ear-based core temperature monitoring system and has multiple publications in the field of thermal physiology and brain functions.
