Andrew Ian Cooper is a British chemist who is aprofessor ofchemistry in the Department of Chemistry at theUniversity of Liverpool.[2][6]
Cooper was educated at theUniversity of Nottingham where he was awarded aPhD[title missing] for research supervised byMartyn Poliakoff.[4]
After his PhD, Cooper held a number ofpostdoctoral research positions. He held an1851 Research Fellowship and a Royal SocietyNATOResearch Fellowship at theUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he worked withJoseph DeSimone.[5] He then held a Ramsay Memorial Research Fellowship at the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis at theUniversity of Cambridge, working withAndrew Bruce Holmes.[7] He moved to the University of Liverpool in 1999 where he has worked ever since.[3]
Cooper was elected aFellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. His nomination reads:
Cooper is distinguished for his outstanding and broad contributions to the design-based discovery of a range of functional materials encompassingpolymers prepared using supercritical fluid solvents, templated structures,nanoparticles, and porous solids. In particular, his innovative work has introduced new classes of materials such as porous organic polymers with extendedconjugation, and molecular organic crystals with high levels of porosity, which have changed the perception of what is possible in this field. In collaboration with computational chemists, he has developed strategies for thesupramolecular synthesis of functional molecular crystals in a more designed way.[1]
Cooper was elected a member of theAcademia Europaea in 2017.[8]
