Current Position: Professor of Sociology and Dean of the School of Social Sciences, University of Iceland and Researcher at the Directorate of Health Iceland.
Brief Bio: After leaving University Park in 2002 I spent a year at a small research firm conducting youth research, the next year in marketing research. Then I worked six years at the Icelandic Public Health Institute, soon as the director of the research division. In 2011 I started full time work at the University of Iceland. I teach statistics, methods and demography at the Sociology department. My research areas are within methods, public health, oral health, inequality, social determinants of health, youth research, and people’s perception of democracy. In recent research, I have been PI for several local and international research projects, working on data collection and survey administration.
Penn State’s Demography Program: I really enjoyed the time at Penn State, and the PSU demography program has been very beneficial for my career.
