Research Interests

I am interested in languages, especially object-oriented languages, patterns, and Extreme Programming.. I am also interested in how students learn. Much of my work involves providing materials for use by those striving to become professionals in computer science.

Other Interests

I am an avid bicyclist and hiker. I also am a great lover of ethnic foods and exotic cultures. Pace University is wonderful because of the rich diversity of its students and its placement in vibrant Manhattan, between Chinatown, Wall Street, and the South Street Seaport.

The two unbelievably handsome people below are Ricardo Jimenez-Peris of Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, and myself. The picture was taken in Barcelona in 1996. We were attending ITiCSE '96. Picture of Jimenez-Peris and Bergin in street corner cafe.

Five of the people involved in the Pedagogical Patterns community. Joseph Bergin, Mary Lynn Manns, Helen Sharp, Jutta Eckstein (sitting), and Alan O'Callaghan. Mary Lynn had earned her doctorate the day before. We were meeting at Helen's both as a celebration and to plan for the next actions in pedagogical patterns.
