After graduating from St Petersburg, Voronoy lectured at Warsaw University. He wrote his doctoral thesis on continued fractions.

Later Voronoy worked on the theory of numbers. He extended work by Zolotarev and his work was the starting point for Vinogradov's investigations. His methods were also used by Hardy and Littlewood.
