• Postgraduate studies: Cracow University of Technology (Rail Vehicle Construction and Operation)
• Master's thesis: "Design of a Modern Tram Driver Station" (awarded TPSP Medal)

Holding a 2021 PhD thesis on control cabin standards, his research focuses on rail vehicle ergonomics, autonomous tram systems, and control cabin design. His work integrates human-machine interaction, operator safety, and educational technology through physical and digital simulation platforms. Publications emphasize design standardization and technical innovation in rail transport, with over a dozen practical control station implementations.

Dr. Górowski's teaching innovations include co-creating Poland's first Rail Vehicle Engineering dual specialization program (2017), winning multiple Rector's awards for didactic achievements. His NGT6 tram simulator (2017) and 1:1 driver cabin replica serve as key educational and research tools, accompanied by industrial collaboration with Siemens, MPK SA, and PKP PLK SA.

Scientific recognitions include:

• TPSP Medal (Krakow, 2008)
• CIOP National Team Award (2009)
• Rector's Team Awards (2017, 2018, 2020)
• Individual Rector's Award (2023)

He leads industrial projects for major rail operators, including:

• Diesel locomotive 6Dg series (2009, over 200 produced)
• Siemens INSPIRO metro train driver stations
• EP09 electric locomotive control systems

His educational initiatives extend beyond academia through:

• NGT6 Tram Simulator public training programs
• "UWAŻAJ! TRAMWAJ!" safety campaign (2023)
• "Laboratorium Małego Inżyniera" outreach (2017-2021)
