Jonathan Cooper Email & Phone Number

Following a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering at Queen Mary, London, I worked for 3 years as a Senior Research Fellow at the Royal Aerospace Establishment, Farnborough. Since 1989 I have worked at the Universities of Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol, in their Aerospace Engineering Departments. I am currently the Airbus Sir George White Professor of Engineering working on novel wing architectures. I am a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Honorary Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. From 2019 - 2021 I was President of the Royal Aeronautical Society. In almost 35 years of working in academia and research establishments I have led world-leading research in the fields of aeroelasticity and structural dynamics that has focused upon developing technical solutions of relevance to the aerospace industry. Most of my work has been funded by EU and UK Govt schemes that require substantial industrial interaction, acting as PI on more than 50 different projects, attracting over £21m of funding, and as CI on projects totaling over £12m . There has been a sizeable impact via technology transfer within the European Aerospace industry and influencing research directions across academia. To date, I have co-authored 142 journal papers, 366 conference papers, 2 textbooks and 7 book chapters.

Listed skills include Aeroelasticity, Aerospace, Aerospace Engineering, Structural Dynamics, and 24 others.
