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.
