Kepler formulated laws of planetary motion, while Copernicus merely(!) proposed that the sun was the center of the solar system rather than the earth.

How did keplers work improve on or support Copernicus heliocentric theory?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
How did Copernicus disprove geocentricism?
Copernicus didn't disprove goecentrism, that was done by Johannes Kepler, who wrote his 3 Laws of Planetary Motion. These were then expanded on by Newton to justify his theory of Gravitation.
How did Copernicus and Brahe differ in their views about the universe?
Copernicus thought that is was heliocentric theory ( that the earth revolves around the sun) and Brahe thought that it was geocentric ( that everything revolves aroung the earth )
What is Copernicus Theory?

How was nicholas Copernicus research proven by Johannes Kepler?
Kepler's theory eventually replaced Copernicus's theory after Tycho Brahe's measurements enabled Kepler to realise that the planets move in elliptical orbits and not in the circles and epicycles of the older Ptolemaic and Copernican models. Copernicus was able to simplify the older model by placing the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth. Kepler in his new theory of 1609 retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
What did nicholaus Copernicus contribute to the scientific revolution?
I am not sure in what depth you would like this answered but Copernicus was the first to show evidence that the earth orbited the sun and not vice versa which was what scientists at that time believed.
