Ryan S. Lynch

I am the Telescope Systems and Operations Group Lead for the Green Bank Observatory, overseeing scientific support for the Green Bank Telescope and other telescopes.

I serve in a variety of leadership and scientific roles at GBO and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).

My outreach work includes classroom visits, public talks, and hands-on astronomy activities. As a founding member of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory, I’ve helped high school students and teachers search for pulsars in Green Bank Telescope data through workshops, lectures, and reference materials.

I previously served as NANOGrav’s director of outreach and education and chaired the IPTA outreach working group. I also co-founded AstroMcGill and was a founding member of Dark Skies, Bright Kids, developing astronomy activities for schools and the public.
