In 2002, he was awarded the degree "Professor of Technical Science" the highest scientific degree in Poland. He is an associate editor of International Journal of Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing and International Journal of Control. He has co-organized series of International Workshops NDS 1998 - Lagov, Poland, NDS 2000 - Czocha Castle - Poland, the third as a Symposium within MTNS 2002 in Notre Dame IN, US, NDS 2005 in Wuppertal, Germany, NDS 2007 in Aveiro, Portugal, and the last NDS 2009 in Thessaloniki, Greece. The next one (NDS 2011) will be organised in Poitiers, France.

His research interests include multidimensional (nD) systems and repetitive processes - theory and applications, control, Iterative Learning Control and related numerical and symbolic algebra methods. He is an author/editor of four monographs/books and about 60 papers in peer reviewed journals and over 100 in the proceedings of international conferences. He leads an active group of young researchers in the multidimensional (nD) systems area with strong international co-operation with the Universities of Southampton for which he is awarded the official position of Visiting Professor at The School of Electronics and Computer Science and Sheffield UK; the universities of Wuppertal, Erlangen-Nurnberg, Magdeburg, Germany; University of Hong Kong, University of Poitiers, INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France.
