Karol Flisikowski works as Associate Professor at the Department of Statistics and Econometrics, Faculty of Management and Economics, Gdansk University of Technology. He is responsible for teaching descriptive and mathematical statistics (in Polish and English), as well as scientific research in the field of social statistics. He has been a participant in many national and international conferences, where he has presented the results of his statistical, econometric analyses applied to socio-economic research. 

Since October 2020, he has also worked as an assistant professor at the International Business School at Chongqing Technology and Business University in Chongqing, China. In 2018-2019, he was also employed at the International College at I-Shou University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. 

He is a graduate of two majors: Management (specializing in Small Business Economics and Management) and Electronics and Telecommunications (specializing in Digital Communication) at the Gdansk University of Technology. Until 2010, he was mainly interested in the design of digital filters in DirectX technology, as well as the use of classification trees, random forests, and neural networks to forecast the bankruptcy of companies. In 2015, he completed work on his doctoral dissertation (discipline Economics / Statistics) with the title "The relationship of intersectoral employment and wage mobility on the example of selected OECD countries." In his work, he used classical methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics, and for comparison, he innovatively implemented Markov processes for highly aggregated data. Currently, his research interests focus on the application of spatial statistical methods to describe the processes of intersectoral wage and employment mobility, as well as their determinants (physical, economic, temporal space).

From 2018-2019, he was employed at the International College at I-Shou University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Since October 2020, he has also worked as an assistant professor at the International Business School at Chongqing Technology and Business University in Chongqing, China.

He also directs the E-learning Center at WZiE PG and the postgraduate program "Artificial Intelligence and Business Process Automation in Technical Perspective".
