His academic profile demonstrates active engagement in both teaching and research activities within the university.

Dr. Nowakowski's research primarily focuses on medical sociology, with particular emphasis on medicalization processes, pharmaceutical consumption, urban mobility (especially cycling culture), and social changes in contemporary society. His work spans theoretical frameworks examining how medical discourse expands into various aspects of daily life, while also addressing practical applications in higher education innovation and urban planning. His research demonstrates a consistent interdisciplinary approach connecting sociology with public health, urban studies, and educational sciences.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a clear trajectory from traditional medical sociology toward innovative applications in education and urban mobility. While maintaining his core focus on medicalization processes, he has expanded into creative thinking methodologies in higher education, international academic mobility, and the sociology of cycling. His work increasingly incorporates practical applications and policy recommendations, particularly evident in his recent projects funded by the European Union.
