About

Jón Gudmundsson spends most of his time working on a balloon-borne experiment called SPIDER. The experiment is designed to provide high-fidelity maps of the CMB polarization over approximately 10% of the sky. The experiment was launched on January 1, 2015 and the SPIDER team members are now busily analyzing the data. Gudmundsson has also contributed to the Planck satellite experiment. He is a Planck scientist and a member of the Planck High Frequency Instrument Core Team.
