Research Abstract
Dr. Schinzinger retired in 1993, but he continues his research in the following areas:
(1) Conformal mapping
(2) Operations Research
(3) Power system analysis
(4) Engineering ethics.
He also volunteers as instructor of a design course on electric cars and also lectures and writes on engineering ethics.
In 1993, Dr. Schinzinger was a Fulbright lecturer and researcher at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil, and in 1996 he was a Visiting Professor at Meiji Gakuin University, Yokohama, Japan.
