Cris Moore's results were found through numerical computations, and they were made mathematically rigorous in 2000 by Alain Chenciner and Richard Montgomery and shown computationally to be stable by Carles Simo.

Cris Moore has been active in the field of network science, with many notable publications in the field.

In work with Clauset and Mark Newman, Cris Moore developed a probabilistic model of hierarchical clustering for complex networks, and showed that their model predicts clustering robustly in the face of changes to the link structure of the network.
