Research Interests

Professor Jia's current research focuses on the development and application of compositional reservoir simulators. His research interests include high-performance reservoir simulation, acid stimulation, enhanced oil/gas recovery, fracture and vug modeling, geological carbon sequestration, and underground gas storage. He is also interested in life cycle assessment and reactive mining, particularly for critical minerals like lithium.
