Research with the School of Science and Engineering

The School of Science and Engineering places strong emphasis on having active research and development within its walls. Most faculty members are actively engaged in scientific work and the published output from faculty has increased rapidly in the last few years. The number of peer reviewed papers that faculty have authored has almost doubled in the period from 2007  to 2009. The SSE now has research output per researcher at the best national level and comparable to many excellent foreign universities. Here is a list of recent publications of SSE staff.

The research topics in which SSE faculty engage are varied and are in many ways a reflection of the broad range of studies offered in the School that provides a full range of undergraduate and graduate level programs in all of the major engineering disciplines and related sciences. The activity is based in smaller and larger research groups and centres that are connected to one or more of the Schools focus areas. The School also has close connections to reseaerch in other institutions such as the Innovation Centre Iceland, Landspitali-University Hospital and the Icelandic Blood Bank.
