📚 Academic and Professional Background

Jiawei Liang currently pursuing a Master of Engineering with a focus on mine gas disaster prevention. My research seeks to address critical safety concerns in mining through innovative approaches to disaster prevention, aiming to reduce hazardous events in underground mining environments.

🧪 Areas of Research

My primary research area is mine gas disaster prevention. I am dedicated to exploring effective methods to mitigate gas hazards in mining settings, contributing to safer working conditions and environmental conservation in the mining industry.

💡 Contributions

My research focuses on uncovering the interaction mechanisms between small-molecule organics and coal molecules. By examining charge transfer processes in substances like methyl benzene, tetrahydrofuran, n-hexane, and methane, I aim to shed light on their influence on methane adsorption characteristics in anthracite coal. These insights hold valuable implications for enhancing coal mine safety in China and offer new perspectives on preventing gas-related disasters in mining.
