Longer biography

Nima Golsharifi is an engineer, inventor and author whose work runs from carbon nanomaterials to software and fiction. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Southampton (MEng, 2009) and nanotechnology at UCL (MSc, 2011), then completed a PhD in UCL's Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (2018) on carbon nano-onions for supercapacitors. He is a co-inventor on two granted US patents, for a nuclear voltaic power source (2025) and for making carbon nano-onions from nanodiamond (2026), among 14 US patent publications in carbon materials and energy. He builds software hands-on, with more than 19,000 commits under his own GitHub account, mostly in TypeScript, Go and Dart. His novel Dreamscape Code, about a nurse who follows her vanished husband into the worlds we enter in sleep, was published by Tingle Press in October 2026. His next book, Gravity Doesn't Vote, follows from Tingle Press later in 2026.
