Alan
Hamill
B.Sc. Ph.D., C.Phys.
After a business failure due to the recession in 1990-91,
Alan Hamill decided to go to business school where he
discovered an aptitude for Mathematics. He applied to Glasgow
University where he was told that he could start a degree in
Applied physics if he satisfied their criteria, which was to
gain the equivalent of Higher - or College level
mathematics, physics and chemistry at their summer school.
Not only did he do just that, he completed it with merits
in all three subjects in the space of only eight weeks!
He went on to receiving a 1st
Class Honours Degree in Applied Physics
and was recommended for PhD, in 1995. The PhD was in
Electropolymerisation of metalloporphyrins and their
applications in biosenors.
Successfully completing his PhD in 1998, he sat his viva
in February and became a fully-fledged Doctor in July of the
same year upon graduation. He started work
straight away with Iomega UK but later that year was made a
fantastic offer to work in one of the most famous labs in the
world, the one which recently cracked the human genome; the
European Molecular Biology Lab in Heidelberg, Germany.
Here he built and maintained complex imaging systems such
as the photonic force microscope which uses lasers to levitate
small molecule enabling 3 dimensional analysis. Much of this
work centered around building complex instrumentation and
dedicated computers for control and data analysis, and more
and more found himself engrossed in building highly complex
computers for specialist control of other
instrumentation. Always fine tuning and optimising
computers and computer programs in C++ and Visual Basic, even
at home he was always tinkering with computers as a major
hobby.
His contract at the lab finished in December 2001 at which
time he returned to the UK with his family prepared to set
down some roots. However, the horrific tragedy of
September 11th impacted the whole world and
Cambridge, which was once the Mecca of tech companies in the
UK, was sinking fast as funding was mostly US based. That was
the point where he decided to turn his hobby into a business -
building computers and writing about them.
As
a Chartered Physicist and member of the Institute of Physics,
Physics is his profession, but computers are his
passion. "How To Build Your Own PC" is a
direct result of that passion.
