Main research topics
Chris Gilligan is interested in analysing factors that influence and control the invasion, persistence and variability of disease. Chris carries out this work by a combining modelling and experimentation. He is especially interested in spatial and temporal dynamics of soil-borne microorganisms. In order to create models that may help in the control of epidemics, experimental data is corelated with theory, with most work focussed upon plant disease in both farmed and natural environments.
