報告簡介：
Andy Cooper is a Nottingham graduate (1991), obtaining his Ph.D there in 1994, he held a 1851 Fellowship and a Royal Society NATO Fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA,from1995 to 1997. 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.
He has been awarded the Macro Group Young Researchers Award (2002), the RSC Award in Environmentally Friendly Polymers (2005), the McBain Medal (2007), the Corday-Morgan Prize (2009), the Macro Group Award (2010), a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, and the Tilden Prize (2014). In 2011, he was named in a Thomson Reuters list as one of the Top 100 materials scientists of the last decade. He is also listed in the 2014 Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researcher list, one of just 13 UK researchers so listed in the categories of Chemistry or Materials Science.
