As I explained in my answer to a similar question, we don't know precisely what 7 doctorates Banner holds. However, based on comments from colleagues, friends, and those who have hired him, we know he's at least an expert in the following fields:
- Radiophysics - the study of radiation and radioactivity. Fury claims he recruited Banner for his knowledge of gamma radiation.
- Biochemistry - the study of the chemistry of living tissue. Stark needed Banner's help to merge JARVIS into an organic host.
- Nuclear Physics - the study of sub-atomic particle interactions. In Avengers, Stark commented on Banner's research work in "anti-electron collisions".
He taught classes at Culver university in the first two, I believe, which means he would need a doctorate in those to qualify.
He's also generally regarded as "one of the smartest people alive", which in the Marvel continuity is a rather well-defined list of people (Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Victor Von Doom, Reed Richards being the big 4 from the comics).
