Welcome to the Icelandic section of the SAS web page. The plan is to have some useful information here for the Icelandic community at Stanford as well as information for Icelandic prospective students. Any suggestions about material that should be added to this page are appreciated (e-mail).
Icelandic Students at Stanford
There are usually around 10 Icelandic students here at Stanford, often with strong presence in Electrical Engineering. If we count all students, research associates, spouses and children, and other affiliates, the number of Icelanders here is probably over 20. You can also find most of us on facebook, in the Íslendingar í Stanford group. Here is a list of some of the Icelanders currently studying or working at Stanford
Egill Júlíusson (e-mail) – Ph.D. student in Energy Resources Engineering
Hrefna Marín Gunnarsdóttir (e-mail) – Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering
María Helga Guðmundsdóttir (e-mail) – B.A. student in German Studies, B.S. student in Geological and Environmental Sciences
Steinunn Arnardóttir (e-mail) – M.Sc. student in Electrical Engineering and Music Technology
