Prof. Adam Kleczkowski

News:

• University of Stirling has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew, London. We will be working together, concentrating particularly on modelling plant and tree populations and diseases.
• We have just published two papers based on the collaboration with psychologists from Scotland; one in Psychology, Health & Medicine and the other in BMC Public Health.
• In September 2015, we organised a session at the BIOECON conference, Cambridge.
• In August 2015 I have been promoted to a Chair in Mathematics, University of Stirling.

• Current projects:
• FOREMOD - Modelling economic impact and strategies to increase resilience against tree disease outbreaks, a project funded by BBSRC, Defra, Scottish Government and other funders. This project (GBP 1.1m) is led by the University of Stirling and involves Universities of St Andrews, Cambridge, Bangor and Warwick, as well as Forestry Research.
• Risks of Animal and Plant Infectious Diseases Through Trade, a project funded by BBSRC and co-funded by NSF. This project (USD1.5m USA component, GBP600k UK component) is led by the University of York and involves FERA in addition to Stirling.

Past projects:

• Episystem.net - a web page for our EPISYSTEM project
• Eco-delivery - a web page for our ECO-DELIVERY project which finished in December 2013.
