Andrew Allan answered on 9 Nov 2015:
I would say being an engineer hasn’t changed my life – it is my life. I’ve always enjoyed understanding how things work and trying to improve them. Taking things apart and rebuilding them and now, I get paid to do it too!
The really important moment was when I was at school. I really didn’t know what career I wanted – but my guidance teacher suggested that I should consider studying engineering at university.
Studying engineering at university made it possible for me have an engineering job now – I really appreciate her advice – that advice shaped my career.

I would say I had a role model, my uncle is an electrical engineer and as a child I remember sitting with him to de-couple and couple devices for repairs and it was so much fun, solve math problems.
That shaped my decision into studying engineering. I live a pretty normal life but affects some of my everyday judgement positively.

Now, I get paid to do my hobby! Being engineer is also slowly improving my understanding of the world and the technology within it.

It changed my life completely. It brought me to Cambridge and gave me the opportunity to travel around the world, meet different people and experience different cultures.
I did my BSc in chemistry, MPhil in materials science and then started to do my PhD in electrical engineering. It made me a complete researcher.
