Robert Richardson is a Senior Staff Engineer with a decade of experience applying stochastic optimisation, machine learning and probabilistic modelling to renewable energy and storage markets. At Tesla he designs production-grade algorithms for Autobidder, translating research-grade battery degradation and forecasting models into real-time trading software for energy assets. His background spans academia (DPhil from Oxford and postdoctoral work integrating Bayesian battery models with industry partners) and fast-moving trading teams at Habitat Energy, giving him a rare blend of rigorous research and production deployment experience. He has led and mentored global algorithm teams while continuing to contribute hands-on code, and is based in the Greater Oxford area where he focuses on making complex uncertainty-aware systems operational at scale.
