Chairman of the Satellite Geodesy Section of the Space Research Committee (2015–2018), and member of the Polish Committee for Standardization. He was an expert and adviser to the ASG-EUPOS project (2007–2009), and head of the expert team (2008–2009). Chairman of the Board of National Sections of the Association of Communication Engineers and Technicians (2013–2016), and Scientific Council Chairman of the Cluster for Space and Satellite Engineering (2014–2018). He has served in advisory roles including to the National Centre for Radio Astronomy and Space Engineering, and to the Parliamentary Space Group. Since 2021, he is a member of the State Council for Environmental Protection and since 2024, an advisor on research infrastructure appointed by the Minister of Science and Higher Education.

He has led or participated in over 30 research projects funded by various national and EU institutions, such as:

• "Analysis of coordinate changes in the EPN network"
• "Use of digital terrain models in GPS navigation"
• "Reprocessing of archival EPN GPS observations (1996–2007)"
• ASG-EUPOS satellite positioning system project (2006–2008)
• R&D grant on real-time service modules for ASG-EUPOS (2007–2010)
• COST project GNSS4SWEC
• High-resolution WRF mesoscale weather model development at CI TASK (since 2017).

He initiated the implementation of the METEOPG weather portal at Gdańsk Tech for applications in economy, safety, and defense. His research expanded into renewable energy, agriculture, and forestry. In 2020, he and the IMGW-PIB team developed the Polish implementation of the Fire Weather Index (FWI) using numerical forecasts.

He has also worked on cluster performance monitoring via meteorological modeling, prefab housing revitalization methods, COVID-19 meteorological correlations using AI, and implemented a unified meteorological visualization system at IMGW-PIB.

He initiated domestic and international research cooperation, including with:

• Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences
• University of Warmia and Mazury
• Institute of Geophysics PAN
• Space Research Centre PAN
• Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Centre
• FOMI Satellite Geodetic Observatory
• Slovak University of Technology
• Royal Observatory of Belgium
• BKG (Germany), Lantmäteriet (Sweden), Onsala Observatory, and more.

He was a member of the supervisory boards of:

• Polonia AERO Sp. z o.o., which built the Aerodynamics Lab in Zielonka
• National Agency for Photodynamic Diagnosis and Therapy of Cancer S.A.

Founder of the Centre for Applied Geomatics (1996–2019), and initiator of:

• MUT Analysis Centre in EPN project
• MUT’s first HPC cluster (FENIX)
• National Centre for Space and Satellite Engineering
• National Centre for Radio Astronomy and Space Engineering.

He has taught courses in satellite geodesy, geodetic IT, higher geodesy, and astronomical geodesy across BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. He mentored students with award-winning theses and co-authored curricula in geodesy and cartography. He supervised dozens of MSc and engineering theses and seven doctoral dissertations.

He reviewed articles for national and international journals and conferences, organized workshops such as EUREF Analysis Centres Workshop, and evaluated projects funded by national and international science agencies.

Co-author of 5 monographs, over 300 scientific papers, including several dozen in JCR-indexed journals, and over 200 conference presentations. Key contributions include adjustments of:

• WSSG geodetic network (1999)
• EUREF–POL, POLREF, EUVN networks
• Warsaw Metro Line II geodetic framework.

He was a key expert in drafting regulations on Poland's spatial reference system (2012). His research covers GNSS data processing and applications of satellite techniques in science and the economy. He authored technical reports for public institutions and companies.

From 2020 to 2025, he served as Editor-in-Chief of Meteorology Hydrology and Water Management (MHWM) published by IMGW-PIB.

His interests include:
