Biography

Dr. Linduo Zhao joined the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) in 2018 as a biogeochemist. Her previous research includes iron redox process in clay minerals, biogeochemical transformation of mercury in environmental media, and bioremediation/biodegradation of heavy metal/organic contaminants. Her current research focused on recovery of rare earth elements, and biogeochemical transformations and microbial community functions at critical interface.
