Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jia Jinlong | Engineering | Research Excellence Award

Head of the Mining Department | Wuhan Institute of Technology | China

Dr. Jinlong Jia is a researcher at the Lanzhou Institute of Technology, China, specializing in coal engineering, gas extraction technologies, and energy-related geomechanics with a focus on improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability in coal mining operations. With 24 scientific publications, 434 citations, and an h-index of 12, he has established a strong research profile in the fields of coal pore structure evolution, borehole optimization, and fluid–rock interactions under complex geological conditions. His recent work includes developing numerical simulation models to quantitatively evaluate effect factors in multi-branch pinnate borehole gas extraction in high-gas thick coal seams, and investigating the influence of CO₂–H₂O interaction time on coal pore morphology and water migration, published in Energy and already earning citations for its contributions to clean energy and mine safety. Dr. Jia’s research integrates computational modeling, experimental coal chemistry, and engineering applications to address critical challenges in methane extraction, gas-solid coupling mechanisms, and geological hazard prevention. Over his career, he has collaborated with more than 67 co-authors, demonstrating extensive engagement in multidisciplinary and multi-institutional research teams working across geology, mining engineering, and energy science. His findings contribute to national and global efforts toward safer mining environments, enhanced gas utilization, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and improved resource recovery efficiency. Through advancing both theoretical understanding and practical solutions in coalbed methane extraction and pore-scale mechanisms, Dr. Jia continues to play a significant role in supporting sustainable energy development and improving engineering practices within the mining and geoscience sectors.
