University of Warsaw in Poland. In his early academic career, he worked at
Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. In 2003-2006, he worked as Assistant Professor at
University of Regina
in Canada. He cooperated also with
McMaster University and
York University. In 2008, he re-joined University of Warsaw where he now holds position of Full Professor at
Institute of Informatics. He is co-author of over 200 papers in the fields of Data Mining, Databases, Intelligent Systems and Rough Sets. He delivered plenary talks at over 20 conferences. In 2020, he was awarded with scientific title of Professor by
President of the Republic of Poland.
Dominik is continually engaged in both academic and commercial R&D projects. In 1999, he co-founded QED Software - Polish company at which he leads development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions. In 2005, he co-founded Infobright - international company at which he co-designed Analytical Database Technology based on Rough Sets and Information Granulation. In 2021, he co-founded OnstageAI - US-based company which uses Sound Processing and Uncertainty Modeling to automize Concert Video Production. He cooperates or cooperated also with several other companies including Arahub, DeepSeas, OvuFriend and Toolbox for HR. He is the co-inventor in over 20 US patents and patent applications.
Dominik actively contributes to the growth of academic community. He chaired over 20 scientific conferences in Asia, Europe and both Americas. He regularly co-organizes sessions and - using KnowledgePit platform which he co-created - Data Science Contests at IEEE Big Data and FedCSIS conferences. He is Associate Editor and Editorial Board Member for scientific journals including Information Sciences and Intelligent Information Systems. He is Vice-President of Polish Artificial Intelligence Society. He was President of International Rough Set Society and Vice-President of IEEE CS Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics.
