About me
I am an Icelander, and after have spent the last few years in the U.S. studying engineering seismology and structural engineering, and working on research in those fields, I have moved back to Iceland. Living in a different country and culture than one's own has been the most important experience, and I've made so many good friends there. The purpose of this blog is in part therefore to facilitate my friends to keep up to date with what I'm up to here in Iceland.
