Sevcan Erşan, PhD
Researcher in Sustainable Food Systems
I’m a Los Angeles–based food engineer and interdisciplinary researcher advancing innovation at the intersection of food science, metabolomics, and sustainability.
My research explores how food components—especially polyphenols, carotenoids, and other bioactives—are transformed through processing and bioconversion, and how these changes influence their functionality and health potential.
I aim to contribute to resilient, equitable, and health-forward food systems that support a sustainable and nourishing future.
