​Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm Pei-Tzu Kao. I grew up in Taiwan, a beautiful island with globally ranked no.1 terrestrial biomes (Yale University EPI) and a high population density. Food production and environmental conservation are pillars of the development of  my home country.

 

I have a multidisciplinary study background :a BSc. in agronomy, a MSc. in agricultural chemistry and a PhD. of geology. The reason behind this learning pathway is the exploration for important  issues regarding sustainable agriculture and the related sciences. I started from studying agronomy and realized that  soil is almost the most critical but most neglected part in agricultural production. To jump deeper into soil science, I chose to study soil chemistry for my MSc. After that, I traveled to Rothamsted Research, one of the leading agricultural institutes in the UK, to complete my PhD degree. I investigathed micronutrient flux in grazing pasture systems, and have found quite a lot of interesting facts,  allowing me to published over 4 research papers from my PhD study. Now after having learnt from so many experts around the world, I am back to my hometown and started my own lab to continue the research work.

My lab is still at the early stage of development with a little shortage of human power. So please be patient with the slow update of the website! You are welcomed to follow me on ResearchGate (the green bottom below) for the instant update of my research achievement.
