Biography

Jonathan Cooper holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Airbus Sir George White Chair in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol. With an international reputation in the fields of aeroelasticity, loads, structural dynamics, and adaptive aircraft structures, he has spent the past 30 years working closely with the aerospace industry to develop new, efficient designs for future wing aircraft aimed at reducing fuel burn and achieving Net Zero Aviation. His research includes novel technologies for load control and improved measurement and modeling of structural and control system nonlinearities to predict aeroservoelastic behavior accurately. Cooper is further engaged in designing high aspect ratio winged aircraft with folding wingtips to enhance aircraft performance prediction amidst uncertainties. He leads multiple projects, including the Development of Advanced Wing Solutions and has published extensively in key aerospace engineering areas.
