Professor Chinowsky is currently conducting research in the areas of infrastructure adaptation to climate change, high performance organizations, and strategic preservation. His high performance organization research includes topics covering innovation, learning organizations, and the role of strategic management in organization success.  Prof. Chinowsky is currently focusing on the application of Social Network Analysis to high performance organizations at the organization and project levels.

In the area of climate change, Prof. Chinowsky has developed one of the first models that addresses an engineering perspective on infrastructure adaptation in direct response to climate change.  He is currently working on research for groups including the Environmental Protection Agency, United Nations, and the World Bank to continue to refine these models and provide a global baseline for infrastructure adaptation costs. Prof. Chinowsky is actively collaborating on these topics with experts from economics, engineering, and climate in a global collaboration network.  The climate work has now resulted in a new technology consulting spin-off, Resilient Analytics, a collaboration that includes CU students, industry, and academic researchers.

In the area of strategic preservation, Prof. Chinowsky is leading a team to look at the historic links between immigration, economic conditions, and the development of western style.  Strategic preservation is the application of strategic planning and historic preservation to community development.
