After receiving his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in 1984, Hans Sues conducted research as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and the Smithsonian on early Mesozoic vertebrates and ecosystems. In 1992, he became Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and joined the faculty of the Department of Zoology at the University of Toronto. In 1999, Sues was appointed Vice President of Collections & Research at the Royal Ontario Museum and later held equivalent senior management positions at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh and the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. He is now Senior Research Geologist and Curator of Fossil Vertebrates in the Department of Paleobiology at the National Museum of Natural History.
His research program centers on terrestrial vertebrate diversity and faunal changes during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras and the evolutionary history of archosaurian reptiles, especially dinosaurs. Sues has authored or co-authored more than 150 scientific articles in leading peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes. He has edited or co-edited a number of books on vertebrate paleontology and paleoecology.
