In the years 1940-1941 he worked at Polytechnic Institute in Lvov. As an Army soldier in 1941-1944 was an adviser on scientific and technical communication the Government Delegation for the Country. In the years 1945-1946 he worked at the Technical University of Lodz, while again from 1945director of the National Institute of Telecommunications (until 1951).

He brought considerable contribution to the development of principles of operation and construction of the radar.He wrote several works on the production and stabilization of electrical oscillations and high vacuum technology and vacuum tubes. Is the creator of the method of analysis of nonlinearoscillations (known as the method of harmonic Groszkowski). He developed an original interpretation of the inductance changes depending on temperature. Not everyone knows that it is through such energy and support Groszkowski was to convene in February 1930, the first congress in Warsaw, Polish hams and the establishment of the Polish Association of Amateur Radio, where he was elected the first president (although he was not a licensed ham). Later it was also the first honorary member of the Association and Badges of Honour carries PZK No. 001During World War II worked for the Army communications transmitters simple quartz stabilized and started the successful work of decoding the control system V1 flying bombs and V2 rockets captured by the Army, which enabled the conduct of an effective defense against the V-1 attacks on London.tomek Szczepaniak źródło Wikipedia
