Scientific career
Education Fields Engineering
Atmospheric Science
Tami Bond received a Bachelor of Science degree in
mechanical engineering from the University of Institutions University of Illinois
Washington in 1993. She went on to graduate study at Colorado State University
the University of California at Berkeley, where she was Website www.hiwater.org (http://www.hiwa
awarded a Masters of Science in engineering in 1995, ter.org/)
[6]
focusing on combustion. In 2000, she completed
study for an interdisciplinary Doctor of Philosophy degree in Atmospheric Sciences, Civil Engineering
and Mechanical Engineering, again from the University of Washington.[7]

Career and scholarship

When discussing how she became interested in engineering, Bond noted, "I was poor and had a car that
broke, and I had to fix it. It was frustrating but satisfying."[8] In the late 1980s, she apprenticed in an auto
body shop and became curious about how cars were made. She wanted to know about their design, not
just to fix automobiles but to improve them. These experiences and others eventually led her to
engineering[9]

According to the MacArthur Foundation, Bond's laboratory and field research into quantifying the
sources and effects of black carbon, as well as its optical and physical properties in the atmosphere, have
provided the most comprehensive data on this pollutant and its effects as of 2014.[10] Bond has expressed
a specific interest in having her research bring a difference to the practical lives of individuals.[11]

In 2003, Bond joined the faculty at department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University
of Illinois. She then became an affiliate professor in Atmospheric Sciences in 2007. In 2014, Bond was
named a Nathan M. Newmark Distinguished Professor. [12]
Bond joined the Colorado State University's department of Mechanical Engineering in 2019 as the Walter
Scott, Jr. Presidential Chair in Energy, Environment and Health. [13]

Awards
In addition to the MacArthur Award,[14] [15] Bond is the recipient of the National Science Foundation
CAREER Grant, and the Nauman Faculty Scholar Award. She has also received the Xerox Faculty award
and the Center for Advanced Study at the University of Illinois fellowship.[16]

In 2015, she was named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and was an ISI Highly Cited
Researcher.[17]

In 2017, she was granted the Outstanding Publication Award by the American Association for Aerosol
Research. [13]

In 2018, the University of Washington honored Bond with a Diamond Award for Distinguished
Achievement in Academia.[18]
