In 1932, he proved that the perimeter of the unit disc respect to a given metric can take any value in between 6 and 8, and that these extremal values are obtained if and only if the unit disc is an affine regular hexagon resp. a parallelogram.[1]
He worked at the State Institute of Mathematics, which was incorporated into the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1952.[2]
