Dr. Julian Timothy Brabin Cooper ("Tim") (PhD)[1] is an Australian computer scientist who is one of the co-founders of Skedgo,[2] a "mobility as a service" (MAAS) travel algorithm company, that specialises in multi-modal travel, for example, train, bus, taxi, bicycle or ferry. Currently Head of Algorithms at Skedgo, he was the original author of the Skedgo mapping and routing functions, which still rely on his foundational work.
Before Skedgo, Dr Cooper was a co-founder of two other businesses: Smarts Group International[3], with a fellow USyd research student, and their professor, Mike Aitken[4]; and Edval Timetables, with his brother, Chris[5]. The SMARTS[6] software was able to identify whether share market trades were being "rigged", and in 2016, the market surveillance service was being used in 55 exchanges, and 50 countries.[7] Smarts Group was sold in 2010 to Nasdaq OMS[8] for an undisclosed sum[9]; and Edval Timetables, was sold in 2019, to Tes Global[10], a UK-based digital education business, also for an undisclosed sum[11].
Tim Cooper's work in the area of software algorithms for mobility (travel) and stock exchanges have delivered significant benefits to end-users and clients. Dr Cooper completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Sydney. His wife, Renata Cooper, is a passionate angel investor in women-led start-ups and founder of investment fund Forming Circles[12].
