Meike Ramon

Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), Switzerland

Meike Ramon studied Psychology at the Ruhr-University in Bochum (DE). Funded by the Belgian National Science Foundation, she received a PhD from the Université catholique de Louvain (BE), and was a Visiting Postdoctoral at the University of Glasgow (UK). Funded by a Swiss National Science Foundation PRIMA (Promoting Women in Academia) grant, she founded the Applied Face Cognition Lab, which she previously led at the University of Lausanne and Fribourg. Meike is an Expert Panel member with Innosuisse, the Swiss Federal Innovation Agency, an ad hoc member of the Swiss National Science Foundation, a Board Member of the Association for Independent Research, and Local Node Leader of the Swiss Reproducibility Network. Since 2017, she has been acting as Scientific Advisor to the Berlin State Police, with whom she co-developed the Berlin Test for Super-Recognizer Identification (beSure®), the only existing bespoke tool for identifying so-called Super-Recognizers involving authentic police material.
