Velkomin / Welcome 👋
Síðan er á ensku en hægt er að lesa aðeins um Skuggsjá hér / We work on experiments probing the early universe, the nature of dark matter, and the birth of the first stars. From here you can take a quick tour of our efforts, read about our projects, or get in touch.
Optics and Telescopes
A key aspect of our research at the University of Iceland and Stockholm University focuses on optics design, characterization, and technology development for telescopes operating at millimetre wavelengths and the development of novel metamaterial resonators.

Gauti Leon Agnarsson completed his BSc project (link to thesis) with the research group this spring. His project focused on the construction a simple radio antenna to that could detect 21-cm radiation from neutral hydrogen in our galaxy. The project is based on a hilarious paper called WTH! Wok the Hydrogen: Measurement of Galactice Neutral Hydrogen in Noisy Urban Environment Using Kitchenware (https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15163)
