Tengxin Cao
Ph.D Student
Biography
Tengxin Cao is a PHD student at the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RCEES, CAS), Beijing. She focuses on the harmful cyanobacteria induced MIB problems in drinking water sources. She developed molecular biology methods to identify the odor producers, and revealed the distribution and driving factors of odor problems.
