David R. Cole studies how fluids like CO2, water, and hydrogen interact with rocks and minerals at the molecular and pore scale, with applications to underground carbon storage, hydrogen storage, oil and gas recovery, and geochemistry of natural fluid-rock systems. His work combines laboratory experiments, spectroscopic and neutron-scattering techniques, and molecular simulations to understand processes such as wettability, isotope partitioning, and nanoscale pore structure in geologic materials.
