Suzanne Katherine Ramsay

I am an astronomer working in the Project Science Department of the European Southern Observatory. My interests and expertise are in optical and infrared ground based instrumentation and particularly in the development of astronomical spectrographs. My main role (since 2015) is Instrumentation Project Manager for the new 40-m class European Extremely Large Telescope, the largest optical telescope currently planned. I am also Head of the Project Scientists Department at ESO. I am an active research astronomer in the field of star formation, observing the interactions between young stars and their environments.
