Dr Richard Cooper serves as an Honorary Research Fellow within the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, maintaining an office at R403 Level 4, 10 Lilybank Gardens. His position signifies active research collaboration without full-time employment obligations, with contact facilitated through Richard.Cooper@glasgow.ac.uk.
His research centers on database systems innovation, particularly:
- Context-aware information extraction from constrained textual sources (SMS, emails)
- Model-driven user interface development for object databases
- Integration of unstructured data with structured database schemas
Publication analysis (2001-2005) reveals consistent focus on transforming informal communications into structured database inputs. His work avoids heavyweight NLP in favor of lightweight, domain-specific extraction techniques—enabling efficient data population in resource-constrained environments where traditional approaches would be impractical.
Collaborative patterns indicate participation in multi-institutional projects like the Teallach framework development. While current grant funding isn't documented, his honorary status suggests ongoing contributions to the university's research ecosystem through specialized expertise rather than conventional academic service.
