Tim Raupach

Dr. Tim Raupach is a Scientia Fellow (Level C) at the University of New South Wales in the School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on the impacts of climate change on hailstorms, convective processes, and precipitation microstructure, using high-resolution numerical weather simulations and remote sensing techniques to analyze small-scale precipitation variability.

• Education:
  • PhD, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2016)
  • Master of Science, Australian National University (2009)
  • Bachelor of Software Engineering, Australian National University (2004)

Research Interests include:

• Climate change impacts on severe weather
• Advanced hailstorm and thunderstorm analysis
• Improvement of remote sensing techniques (radar, microwave links)
• Statistical modeling of precipitation patterns

Recent Work Trends reflect studies on hail damage potential in Australian cities, hail-hazard mapping across Australia, Bayesian hailstorm detection frameworks, and multi-hazard climate risk assessments for decision-making.

Teaching: In 2022, he served as primary convenor for CLIM3001/6001 Climate Systems Science.
Research Supervision: He supervises students including Isabelle Greco and Quincy Tut.
