Bruce Wilking has conducted extensive studies on outflows and kinematics in star-forming regions. His work includes analyzing water maser emissions in the Haro 6-10 binary system, tracing jets in NGC 1333, and investigating the Rho Ophiuchi cloud. He has collaborated with institutions like the American Astronomical Society and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. While no specific awards are mentioned, his contributions span decades with key publications from 1989 to 2019. He has also supervised collaborations involving researchers such as Kevin Marvel, Mark Claussen, and Alwyn Wootten.

His research encompasses topics like proper motion analysis, circumstellar structures, high-velocity molecular gas, and optical spectroscopy of pre-main-sequence stars. The articles reflect a focus on observational astrophysics, star formation processes, and high-resolution interferometric studies.
