Dr Theivendiram Pranavan
Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore, with interests spanning Computing Education, Machine Learning and Computer vision.
Academic work
Teaching that makes complex ideas visible
I teach and develop computing modules that help students move from foundational reasoning to robust software design and advanced algorithmic thinking.
Research
Principled machine learning
Continual learning, similarity-based learning, predictive coding, anomaly detection and representation learning.
Research and publications →Mentorship
Projects and capstone supervision
Supervision of student teams working on substantial software systems and applied AI projects, with an emphasis on sound engineering practice.

Bridging rigorous foundations and practical systems
My academic work sits at the intersection of computing education and machine intelligence. I am particularly interested in helping students understand not only how algorithms and software work, but also why particular abstractions, design choices and performance trade-offs matter.
