He was promoted to Full Professor in 1996.
Research Interests
Professor Fickas has a general interest in both software engineering and wearable computers. He help found the UO Wearable Computing Lab in 1995, and remains the lab director. In the area of software engineering, he retains broad interests (he is general chair of ICSE09), but tends to focus on issues in requirements engineering. Recently, he has teamed with colleagues in the Cognitive Rehabilitation Department to specify, design and implement wearable computing for the traumatic brain injury (TBI) population. Professor Fickas' research is funded by NSF, the Department of Transportation, and Intel.
