Events

The SFB-TRR 161 organizes various events to promote research activities and to inform about current developments in research and education in the field of Visual Computing, both at a national and an international level.

Nov 10th, 2025, 4 pm - 6 pm

University of Stuttgart

Lecture | Human-Centred Information Visualisation for the Energy Sector (and beyond)

Held by:

Sarah Goodwin, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

Abstract:

This presentation showcases a number of energy data visualisation projects, ranging from immersive tabletop devices for casual data collaboration and knowledge sharing through to measuring cognitive load of energy control room operators. The presentation will highlight the benefits of human-centred approaches and demonstrate capabilities for improved geospatial data analysis and innovation for energy network visualisation. It will also draw on other work, such as our design and development of Gazealytics, the visual eye tracking analysis software, which has helped to identify patterns in typical energy control room operator gaze behaviour. 

Bio:

Sarah Goodwin is a Senior Lecturer at Monash University, Australia and a member of the Embodied Visualisation research group. She is co-Director of Monash Energy Institute’s Grid Innovation Hub and Director of Engagement for the Department of Human-Centred Computing. She completed her PhD at City University, London in 2015. Her research focuses on multi-dimensional geospatial data and co-designing with experts. In her work she seeks to improve human-centred methodologies for domain knowledge extraction for visualisation design, interaction and task analysis. She has worked over 20 years in the field of geospatial analysis and information visualisation in professional and academic roles. She was co-General Chair for IEEE VIS 2023 bringing the conference to Australia for the first time. She also co-chairs two international workshop series: Urban Data Visualisation (CityVis) and Energy Data Visualisation (EnergyVis).Prior to her PhD and moving to Australia she spent 5 years living and working in Germany. 

Location:

University of Stuttgart, Visualization Research Center (VISUS), Room: 00.012
