Co-founder & CTO @ Spaceium (S24). Believe in developing in-space infrastructure to sustainably explore space and find a better place to call home, like the first caveman stepping out of their cave. Help humanity become a multiplanetary species. I led a rocket program at university. We successfully launched 3 rockets and became fastest growing team. Fully developed 4 rocket engines and built a propulsion stability model. Built many robots including rocket tracker for recovery.
Co-founder & CTO of Inversion Semiconductor (W25), developing next-gen lithography machines. Masters in Applied Physics from University College London, with a focus on applications of particle physics. Previously created novel ML models for stability optimization of tabletop particle accelerators at CERN, and developed particle accelerators for cancer treatment at Lumitron Technologies
Formerly Co-Founder and COO of Replenish (YC S14). Currently CEO of HigherMe (YC W15)
Co-founder of Elodin Systems, developers of simulation tools for aerospace. I'm a software engineer by practice and a physicist by training. I've worked on a wide variety of projects throughout my career from a database for central banks to the flight software for a deep space mission. I'm passionate about building simple, elegant solutions to complex problems. In my spare time, I try and get outdoors as much as possible, which usually means climbing or skiing.
In the span of six years, Cooper went from an intern at Tesla to building and leading 30+ person engineering teams at SpaceX and Shield AI. His teams played a critical role in each company's industry-leading development pace, production rates, and reliability.
