Dominik Niekurzak – Akademia Biznesu

A graduate of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in the field of Spatial Management and the 1st edition of the UWM Business Academy. He graduated from the 1st degree studies with honours for his engineering thesis, entitled “Analiza przestrzenna lokalnego rynku nieruchomości z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania GIS” (Spatial analysis of the local real estate market with the use of the GIS software). The engineering thesis has also been awarded in a competition by the Ministry of Investment and Development in the field of geoinformation. He constantly develops his skills and knowledge concerning geoinformation. He wrote a master’s thesis entitled “Optymalizacja systemu komunikacji na przykładzie miasta Olsztyn” (Optimization of a communication system on the example of the city of Olsztyn), in which he raised the issue of the efficiency of a communication system. He willingly shares his knowledge during the participated conferences, for example: GIS in Science, GISday, Dialogue of Innovation, and others.

The co-author of a published project entitled “Olsztyńskie juwenalia na interaktywnej mapie” (Juwenalia in Olsztyn on an interactive map) and the co-author of scientific articles, for example in: International Journal of Geo-Information. He also carried out his scientific activity in research clubs and student projects, in terms of which he himself was the initiator. Thanks to this, he founded the GIScode International Science and Research Club, where together with a group of students he implemented the RoweLOVE project, the organization of the 1st regional GIS Olsztyn conference, as well as other initiatives promoting student activity and geoinformation.

In the professional sphere, he is currently involved in geoinformation and carrying out investments at ELTEL Networks Energetyka S.A. as an Engineer at the Research and Development Centre. In terms of geoinformation, he implemented map portals that allow analyzing spatial data along with implementing investment concepts and assessing investment risks in the social and spatial aspect. Currently, at the company he is also implementing an EU project entitled “Dalsza rozbudowa Centrum Badawczo-Rozwojowego ELTEL Networks Energetyka S.A.” (Further expansion of the ELTEL Networks Energetyka SA Research and Development Centre), which consists in optimizing the process of preparing electricity investments with the use of GIS system tools.

Successes during studies:

1) Award of the Minister of Investment and Development in the field of geoinformation

1st edition of a Competition for the Award of the Minister of Investment and Development in the field of geoinformation. The award was presented on June 28, 2019 by the Minister of Investment and Development and the Chief National Surveyor. Award granted for the engineering thesis entitled “Analiza przestrzenna lokalnego rynku nieruchomości z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania GIS” (Spatial analysis of the local real estate market with the use of the GIS software).

2) Award and distinction for engineering work

Awarded by the Polish Association of Real Estate Valuers for the engineering thesis entitled “Analiza przestrzenna lokalnego rynku nieruchomości z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania GIS” (Spatial analysis of the local real estate market with the use of the GIS software).

3) Publication of an article in the International Journal of Geo-Information

Co-author of an article entitled “Using Cartographic Documents to Provide Geoinformation on the Rights to Real Estate—Taking Poland as an Example”.

4) Founder of the GIScode International Science and Research Club at the Faculty of Geoengineering

Implementation of the RoweLOVE project consisting in creating a map portal with bicycle paths with a division into classes, promoting the bicycle as a means of transport in the city of Olsztyn, and 3D visualization of the “Łynostrada” bicycle path. Organizing the 1st regional GIS Olsztyn conference in 2018, at which the content-related aspect consisted in exchanging experiences and practices with science and business. Additionally, cooperation has been established with the Olsztyn Science and Technology Park, where the conference took place.

Professional success:
1) Implementing map portals in ELTEL Networks Energetyka S.A.
It allows analyzing spatial data along with implementing the concept of linear investments and assessing investment risks in a social and spatial aspect. The implementation had an internal character and was included in the company’s PMO processes.
2) Investment Realization Wizard in ELTEL Networks Energetyka S.A.
Implementing the Investment Realization Wizard constituted the first task in the company and a continuation of works in the team of the Research and Development Centre. The task required an analysis of the legal provisions for example in the field of: construction law, water law, geodetic law, acts: real estate management, public roads, environmental protection, rail transport, as well as other legal acts. The implementation consisted in carrying out a schedule of formal and legal activities. As the changes recede, the project still requires a lot of work.
