He then held a Ramsay Memorial Research Fellowship at the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis in Cambridge. He joined Liverpool in 1999, initially as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. He is the founding Director of the Centre for Materials Discovery (established in 2007) and is the Academic Director of the new Materials Innovation Factory (MIF). Previously, he was Head of Chemistry in Liverpool (2007–2009), and was the first Head of the School of Physical Sciences over the period Jan. 2010–Dec. 2011. He has also previously served on the University Council. In 2015, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Professor Cooper is a recognized world leader in materials chemistry. His career has spanned the diverse areas of low-temperature spectroscopy, organometallics, supercritical fluids, polymers, colloids, porous materials), photochemical water splitting, supramolecular chemistry, encompassing both crystalline and amorphous materials.
Till resent, Prof. Cooper has published more than 180 papers, including 3 papers in Nature, 1 paper in Science, 10 papers in Nature ‘sister journals’, 22 papers in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 14 papers in Angewandte Chemie, and 15 papers in Advanced Materials.
