Van Cong Doan is a Doctor of Plant Sciences and Climate Science, currently a Research Associate at the University of Turin. Since November 2020, he has been a Research fellow in the Plant Physiology group at the University of Turin. Since his early research, he has been interested in the impact of global climate change on plant–insect–natural enemy interactions. He uses plant chemicals, plant traits, ecological phenomenon, and biological responses of the plants, insects, and natural enemies to unravel the mechanisms of climate change on the tri-trophic interactions. He also has learned to master several techniques, including plant and insect behavioral and performance experiments, sugar and starch analyses, protein analyses, amino acid measurements, targeted and untargeted metabolomics (HPLC-qDA-MS and qTOF-MS), volatile analyses (GC-MS), and q-RT-PCRs.
