Biography

Dr Stephen Snow is a research scientist leading CSIRO’s contribution to the Scenarios for Future Living project. This research seeks to develop a people-centred understanding of how Australians will live and interact with energy in the years to come. His research sits at the intersection between humans and technology: user experience design and social science. In particular, understanding users’ experience in the energy transition and learning from dashboards for behaviour change, from energy use feedback displays, solar analytics, climate services and water trading decision support. He has published widely on behaviour change via energy use feedback in homes and on farms, climate services dashboards, consumer energy network participation, energy futuring and air quality in classrooms.

Prior to joining CSIRO he worked at the University of Queensland's (former) Centre for Energy Data Innovation and University of Southampton, researching behaviour change and lecturing in Interaction Design.
