David Nicholson

Professor David Nicholson is affiliated with the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland. His research focuses on molecular simulation of adsorption phenomena in porous materials, particularly examining phase transitions, isosteric heat, and pore structure effects for gases like argon, methane, and carbon dioxide on graphitic surfaces.

Recent publications highlight his work in understanding wetting transitions, adsorbate restructuring, and thermodynamic properties of fluids in nanoscale environments. Key methodologies include Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with applications in material characterization and separation processes.

His collaborative studies with researchers such as D.D. Do and Quang K. Loi explore the interplay between adsorption isotherms, hysteresis loops, and surface chemistry. No scientific awards are documented in the provided text.
