Susanne Pfalzner (* 1963 in Michelstadt, Germany) is a German physicist who initially worked in plasma physics with a focus on numerical simulation. Since around 2003 she has worked primarily in the field of astrophysics. She received her doctorate in 1989 at the Technical University of Darmstadt[1], then worked at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Great Britain (1989–1990) and at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung in Germany(1990–1995).
