He has a PhD in physics, with a specialization in experimental solid-state physics. He employed scanning probe microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy to conduct advanced research on the physical properties of silver nanoparticles and crystal surfaces during his dissertation research.

He has been employed at the Lodz University of Technology since 2009, where he received the degree of habilitated doctor of technical sciences in the field of textile engineering in 2019. He has been an associate professor since December 2019. His scientific activities are centered on structural research, with particular focus on the investigation of the process of supramolecular structure ordering in textile materials during processing. He also investigates the correlation between structure and physical properties, optimizes technological processes through statistical methods, develops physical and chemical modification methods for polymer materials functionalization, develops composite materials, and utilizes microscopic techniques in materials engineering.
