Hans-Dieter Sues is a German-born American palaeontologist who is a Senior Research Geologist and Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

He is especially interested in the evolutionary history of Paleozoic and Mesozoic tetrapods, especially archosaurian reptiles and cynodont therapsids, and the history of biology and palaeontology. Sues has discovered numerous new dinosaurs and other extinct terrestrial vertebrates in Paleozoic and Mesozoic continental strata in North America and Europe. Together with Alexander Averianov (St. Petersburg) he has studied a Turonian-age assemblage of dinosaurs from Uzbekistan. Sues has also studied the Triassic faunas of tetrapods from eastern North America, which show surprising differences from the coeval assemblages in the American Southwest. [1] [2] [3] [4]

He received his education at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (University of Mainz), University of Alberta, and Harvard University (Ph.D., 1984). [5]

Sues was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2003 and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1998. [6] [7] [8] [9] He was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Prize for Excellence in Research and Teaching in 2010 [10] He served as the president of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology from 2002 to 2004. [11] The pachycephalosaur Hanssuesia is named for him. [12]
