Accelerating the discovery of advanced functional materials
The Cooper Group employs robotics, computational prediction and digital optimisation to develop autonomous methods that can speed up and refine the exploration of the vast chemical space.
Welcome
We are a diverse and multidisciplinary research group comprising approximately 50 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students from a wide range of countries. Our researchers have expertise in fields including chemistry (with specialisation in organic, hybrid materials synthesis and characterisation and computational structure-properties predictions), engineering and robotics (automation, coding and robotics) and computer science (with a focus on machine learning and optimisation).
