About
Jonathan M. Cooper is a pioneering figure in the fields of acoustofluidics, microsystems engineering, and bioanalytical technologies. His research masterfully bridges the gap between fundamental physics and practical device design, with a particular focus on manipulating fluids and particles at the microscale using sound waves. Cooper’s most notable contribution is the development of hierarchical nanotexturing on piezoelectric films, a breakthrough that enables acoustofluidic actuation on flexible, slippery, and even sticky surfaces. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2020 work (52 citations), overcomes a critical challenge in soft robotics and smart microsystems, allowing devices to conform to complex, three-dimensional shapes while maintaining precise liquid control. His work has profoundly impacted the design of lab-on-a-chip systems and flexible electronics, offering new pathways for point-of-care diagnostics and adaptive materials. With a career spanning decades, Cooper’s research is characterized by its interdisciplinary creativity and translational potential, making him a leading voice in the next generation of microfluidic and acoustic technologies.
