Professor Bond is an outstanding, internationally-recognized theoretical cosmologist and a major figure in present-day theoretical astrophysics and cosmology. He has contributed fundamental advances to most fields of contemporary cosmology. The general line of his research is structure formation and evolution in the Universe, from the earliest times to the present, and from stars to ultra-large scale. He has published research on supernovae, on early universe field theory, on statistics of data analysis, on gravitational dynamics, on pregalactic stars, on background radiation fields, on neutrino astrophysics, on the evolution of large-scale structure and on a variety of other topics.

Some of his papers have spawned major new areas of research or have set entirely new standards of rigour in pre-existing fields. Included in these are a ground-breaking application of statistical methods from signal processing to the properties of large-scale structure in the Universe, which created a sub-field that is still very active fifteen years after the paper was written. Another work, which showed for the first time how precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background could provide accurate determinations of the material content of the Universe and of the physical processes which imposed structure on it (and so are responsible for our existence), is currently one of the hottest and most rapidly developing areas of astrophysics.
