After graduating with honours, he joined the Institute of Mining at Wroclaw University of Technology as a trainee and then as a teaching and research assistant. The Scientific and Didactic Council of the Institute of Mining of the Wroclaw University of Technology on the basis of the submitted dissertation: "Optimisation of drilling progress with the Udarex drilling rig in basalt as a function of air pressure and the number of crown rotations" awarded him the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences./Ph.D/. He completed a six-month internship at the Polish Academy of Sciences with prof. Z. Ranachowski at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Problems in Warsaw, Poland, where he searched for a single parameter on which the workability of rocks would depend. He found and derived a theoretical relationship between the compressive strength of a rock and the product of the apparent density of the rock and the ultrasonic velocity of the transverse and longitudinal waves propagating in that rock. He called the latter the Acoustic modulus. . The workability of the rock for drilling, cutting and blasting depends on the Acoustic modulus. He carried out experimental tests on various types of igneous and sedimentary rock and found that this theoretical relationship did indeed exist.The Scientific Council of the Moscow Mining Institute on the basis of the work "Physics - technical foundations and the development of a method for comprehensive assessment of mechanical properties of rocks for operative control of mining processes". /321 page/ . gave him a post-doctoral degree, /Doktor habilitated/in engineering geology and mining.
