Dr. Liangyuan Jia began his research career as a master's student at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), earning his Ph.D. in 2013. Subsequently, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 2014. In 2017, Dr. Jia joined Hefei University of Technology as an Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

His research focuses on pyrolysis and gasification of solid waste resources, including biomass, waste plastics, and energetic fuel components. With extensive expertise in thermal chemical reaction process analysis—particularly through mass spectrometry for detecting reaction intermediates. He also specializes in: Design of micro pyrolysis reactors; Mechanistic elucidation of pyrolysis reactions; Catalyst development and synthesis. Recently, he has expanded his work to include machine learning-aided prediction of catalytic pyrolysis.

So far, he has published more than 30 papers as the first or corresponding author on Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., ACS Catal., Green Chem., Appl. Catal. B-Environ., Chem. Eng. J.,  Combust Flame, Energy, J. Anal. Appl. Pyrol. etc.
