معرفی
Jonathan Cooper is the Sir George White Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol, holding a Royal Academy of Engineering Airbus sponsored chair. With over 30 years of experience, he has collaborated extensively with UK, European, and global aerospace industries to develop fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft designs through innovative aeroelastic and structural solutions.
Education:
- PhD in Aeronautical Engineering, Queen Mary College
Professor Cooper's research spans aeroelasticity, structural dynamics, loads, adaptive aircraft structures, and aeroelastic optimization. Current themes include novel loads control technologies, improved modeling of structural nonlinearities, high aspect ratio wing design, uncertainty prediction in aircraft performance, and multidisciplinary design optimization for future wing structures. His work is driven by the goal of enabling next-generation efficient aircraft through advanced structural dynamics solutions.
Scientific Awards:
- Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society
- Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
- Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering
Professor Cooper has supervised 55 PhD students and 28 Research Associates, and has served as Principal Investigator on over 50 research projects funded by the UK Government, EU, and industry. He has organized numerous professional development courses including 14 Modal Testing sessions, 5 Signal Processing workshops, and 18 in-house Aircraft Aeroelasticity courses across Europe and South America, leading to his best-selling Wiley textbook 'Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads' (2nd edition, 2015).
