Biography

Tami Bond

Scott Presidential Chair in Energy, Environment and Health
Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

Tami Bond is the Walter Scott, Jr. Presidential Chair in Energy, Environment and Health. Her research has followed a thread from combustion, to atmospheric chemistry and climate, to technology change and future scenarios, to the intimate relationship between technology and human choice. Her work spans considerations as small as a particle’s skin and as large as a national transportation system in the quest to characterize the dance between humans, their energy use, and the atmosphere and climate. 

Dr. Bond first earned two degrees in mechanical engineering before succumbing to an interdisciplinary Ph.D. and pursuing a NOAA Climate and Global Change post-doc. She came to CSU in 2019 after 16 years in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Bond is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and a 2014 John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellow.
