History in the Making
Proudly Presents:
Doris Hamill
Doris Hamill has made a successful career as a
technologist. Her degrees in physics and biophysics, coupled with
her lifelong thirst for learning, have brought her an impressively
broad and deep understanding of the scientific domain and the
technology that flows from it. Working for the Air Force, the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, NASA, and technology-related
companies, she has been near the forefront of a wide array of emerging
technology. She has initiated, managed, supported, and promoted
leading edge technology development opportunities in diverse fields
including optical fabrication, protein crystallography, radar signal
processing, life support systems, microgravity sciences, solar powered
aircraft, cryogenic refrigeration, and tissue engineering. She
has also written several papers on how to commercialize human
spaceflight, and published articles on how NASA should incorporate
advanced technology in its future systems.
In parallel with her professional activities, Doris Hamill pursued
private studies in an equally wide array of non-technical subjects
including history, philosophy, psychology, religion, anthropology,
literature, economics, and the arts. This broad base of knowledge
allowed her to fuse understanding from the technical and humanistic
realms into unique and powerful insights of why things came to be as
they are. Her book, The Challenge of Why – A Secular Search
for Human Purpose, provides logical and scientifically valid answers to
a wide array of humanity’s deepest and most perplexing questions
such as the nature of truth, the existence of free will, the basis for
morality, and human purpose.
In her book and these lectures, Doris Hamill draws together the
technical and the humanistic, the physical and the spiritual, the
pragmatic and the moral, the religious and the secular in a way that
may be unique in the modern world.
