Neben seiner Beschäftigung mit Physik war auch die Naturphilosophie Biwald ein großes Anliegen. Auf zahlreichen Wanderungen hat er laufend ihm unbekannte Pflanzen gesammelt um sie später zu analysieren und zu katalogisieren, ganz im Sinne von Carl von Linné. Seine von Johann Martin Fischer 1807 gestaltete Büste (siehe Bild) steht im großen Lesesaal der Universitätsbibliothek Graz. (de)

In 1786-1787 and again 1798-1799 he was rector of the University of Graz. His Latin physics textbooks included Physica Generalis (1760s, 460pp), dealing with mechanics including celestial mechanics, and Physica Particularis (1760s, 403pp), dealing with diverse topics including optics. Physica Particularis was also widely distributed throughout Austria-Hungary (in modified form) as Institutiones Physicae (1779, 349pp). He was a contemporary of Johann Baptiste Horvath, Andreas Jaszlinszky and Joseph Redlhamer. His bust, made in 1807 by Johann Martin Fischer, is now displayed in the main reading room of the University Library of Graz. (en)
