Long Bio (250 words)
Nidhin Sreekumar is a biotech and chemical engineer dedicated to building practical sensing systems at the intersection of materials science, biology, and engineering. He is the Founder and Director of Invent, a deep-science company pioneered to translate advanced research into real-world healthcare solutions. His core work revolves on volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—decoding their patterns in biological systems and developing reliable sensors to detect them in variable field conditions.

Nidhin leads the development of the VolTrac platform, a patented nano-polymer chemiresistive sensor system designed for non-invasive breath-based health screening. His approach is rooted in "frugal engineering"—leveraging disciplined resource management and rapid prototyping to build robust, scalable technologies. This mindset, often likened to the "ISRO way," drives his mission to create high-impact tools that function reliably outside the sterile conditions of a research lab.

Under his leadership, Invent has secured patents for breath-based disease screening technology and joined the NVIDIA Inception program to accelerate AI-driven diagnostics. His research interests include breathomics, signal stability in humid environments, and calibration workflows for sensor arrays. Beyond product development, Nidhin is a vocal advocate for evidence-based validation and responsible deployment of AI and sensor technology in healthcare. He speaks regularly on topics ranging from translational R&D to the ethics of health tech, emphasizing safety and clinical utility over hype. Based in Thiruvananthapuram, India, he continues to push the boundaries of what affordable, accessible, and non-invasive diagnostics can achieve.
