Welcome to my academic home page. I have admitted defeat - I can't seem to keep these pages up to date. So I am asking those interested to contact me directly about any of my projects (listed below) that might be of interest. I welcome email: fickas@cs.uoregon.edu.

• I have an interest in applying prior research (my own and others) in reading and writing strategies to coding strategies. This includes both assessment and intervention.

• I have an interest in including what are called "Vulnerable Road Users" in the general move to V2X. We have had some encouraging results on pilot projects both in the lab and in the field.

• I have an interest in developing better tool support for the use of "exploratory programming" in data science, specifically by non-stem students and researchers. We have encouraging preliminary results on this effort.
