He was educated at the Lviv's IV Gymnasium, Jan Kazimierz University in Lwów in Poland (1899–1903).

His teachers included Józef Puzyna, Jan Rajewski, Stanisław Kępiński, Marian Smoluchowski, and Kazimierz Twardowski.

He passed the teachers exam in 1903 and received a government scholarship in 1906 to study at the University of Göttingen where he attended lectures by David Hilbert, Felix Klein, H. Minkovsky, and others.

He was part of the Lwów school of mathematics and influenced many other mathematicians including Stefan Banach, Kazimierz Kuratowski, Stanisław Stożek, Antoni Nikliborc, Stefan Kaczmarz, Władysław Orlicz, and Stanisław Mazur.

Łomnicki was arrested on July 3, 1941 by the invading Nazi Germans during the Second World War and shot along with several other professors (see Massacre of Lwów professors) the next day on the Wzgórza Wuleckie in Lwów.
