个人简介
Yu Tao was born and bred in Harbin, a beautiful ice-n-snow metropolitan in Northeast China. He entered Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2004 and obtained his bachelor degree of Environmental Engineering in 2008. HIT is a C9 university in China (similar to the Ivy League U) and tops the Best Global Universities for Engineering (#7, US News, 2016).
He was recommended for the HIT postgraduate program without taking the entrance examinations and got his master degree in Environmental Science & Engineering in 2010. His master thesis was about developing a method to rapidly enrich anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, who are slow-growing microorganisms but play a key role in the global nitrogen cycle. He got highly-enriched anammox consortia using anaerobic membrane bioreactors and more importantly, the cultivation methods enabled a rapid-startup strategy for industrial anammox processes. His master thesis was awarded the prestigious Provincial Thesis Award in 2011, followed by four research articles and two review articles on some decent journals.
In 2010, he decided to continue pursuing the PhD in the same lab of HIT with the guidance of Prof Dawen Gao, targeting to unveil the microbial networks that govern the productivity of two typical anaerobic bio-systems, i.e. Anammox and Anaerobic digestion (AD). He spent two years in the HIT lab for the anammox study and embedded himself in the AD study for another two years in Prof Jules B. van Lier's lab in the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. The China scholarship council (CSC) sponsored his study in Delft. The AD study paid back even more than the anammox study with by far 12 research articles that are published on high-impact journals such as Water Research and Biotechnology for Biofuels. He got the doctoral degree of Environmental Science & Engineering from HIT in the spring of 2015.
Dr Yu Tao joined Imperial College London as a research assistant in March 2015 and was promoted to a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) in June 2015. He has been working within the dome of a BBSRC-sponsored sLoLas project 'engineering microbial communities for biomethane production' with the guidance of Prof David C. Stuckey since then. His current passion of science comes after elucidating the following puzzles:
(1) if, and how, an anammox bacterium could metabolize small-molecule fatty acids for growth? How can anammox bacteria’s organoautotrophic or even a heterotrophic lifestyle meet the requirements for a mainstream anammox process?
(2) How would an AD microbial community response to an environmental change on both the re-inoculation and invasion (bio-augmentation) level?
(3) What are the microbial phisiological and ecological mechanisms behind a maximized anaerobic digestion, such as a stable methane production under high volumetric (e.g. >40 kgCOD/(m3∙d)) or sludge (e.g. >3 kgCOD/(gVSS∙d)) loading rate?
Dr Tao is a member of the International Water Association (IWA), International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME), and American Society for Microbiology (ASM). He also serves as a reviewer for the journals such as Environmental Science & Technology, Water Research, Biotechnology for Biofuels, etc.
