Richard Laugesen

Hi from Canberra Australia, you can reach me at richard@laugesen.com.au and on BlueSky.

Research

I generally work on water-related risk reduction, around the intersection of model innovation, decision theory, and water resource management. Please see my research page for more details.

Consulting

Please approach my engineering consultancy at Pintar Projects to discuss any predictive systems or decision science support you may need. Building systems to support operational decisions gets our attention.

Bureau of Meteorology

I lead the Hydrological Models team. We are a group researchers creating innovation in hydrologic science and land-surface modelling. Our focus is on supporting the Bureau's current and future customers, at scale. Please contact me at richard.laugesen@bom.gov.au regarding any Bureau, WMO, or ISO projects I am involved in.

Teaching

I occasionally teach science at a local high school and love it. Influencing tomorrows leaders and rebels is the best way I know to tackle things like disinformation and the climate emergency.

Advocacy

Globally, bleeding disorders are under diagnosed, have limited access to treatment, and cause substantial health, social, and economic impacts. I've been part of the ACT committee of Haemophilia Foundation Australia for a number of years and am happy to chat if you want to know more.
