His academic profile includes an ORCID identifier (0000-0001-6024-0127) and institutional email leszek.wojciechowski@kul.pl.

Wojciechowski's research spans Medieval History, Byzantine Studies, Pilgrimage Literature, and Medieval Encyclopedism, with specialized attention to relics of the Holy Cross, geographical descriptions in encyclopedic works, and Polish religious identity formation. His methodological approach combines source criticism with cultural analysis, frequently examining how medieval texts constructed religious and geographical knowledge.
