Tami Bond

Dr. Tami Bond is a Professor and Walter Scott, Jr. Presidential Chair in Energy, Environment, and Health at Colorado State University's Department of Mechanical Engineering. Her research bridges combustion science, atmospheric chemistry, and climate policy, focusing on emissions, climate impacts, and sustainable energy solutions.

Education:

• Ph.D. (Interdisciplinary: Atmospheric Sciences, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering), University of Washington, 2000
• M.S. Mechanical Engineering (Combustion), University of California, Berkeley, 1995
• B.S. Mechanical Engineering (summa cum laude), University of Washington, 1993

Research Interests: Dr. Bond explores interdisciplinary challenges at the intersection of energy use, atmospheric processes, and human behavior. Key areas include household energy systems in developing regions, emission mitigation constraints, particle properties, and emission inventories across historical and future scenarios. Her work emphasizes the interplay between technology adoption, infrastructure, and climate outcomes.

Recent Articles: Recent work focuses on heat pump adoption, indoor-outdoor pollution linkages, and aerosol mixing state impacts on climate. Her studies combine field measurements, modeling, and policy analysis to address global challenges like air quality and renewable energy transitions.

Awards:

• 2018 University of Washington Diamond Award
• 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research Outstanding Publication Award
• 2015 American Geophysical Union Fellow
• 2014 MacArthur Fellowship

Advising & Grants: Dr. Bond advises over 20 graduate students and leads projects on emissions, climate policy, and energy systems. She chairs committees on clean cookstoves, sustainable brick production, and global emissions modeling. Her grants include NSF, EPA, and international collaborations.

Labs/Teams: Her work involves interdisciplinary teams at Colorado State and global partnerships, including the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
