I have shown an ability to convey current acoustics research to diverse, non-specialist audiences in an engaging way, either face-to-face or through the media. To take two examples, I was a finalist at Famelab and I have lectured at the Royal Institution to school pupils. Sound is a common theme within all forms of media, whether that be reviews of the latest IPod technology in newspapers, or discussions of how to deal with noisy anti-social behaviour on TV news. Sound also features on the school curriculum at all key stages. So, sound is an ideal theme for this fellowship, because it can enrich the general public's understanding of the connections between their everyday experiences, and engineering and science. It is also an ideal subject for inspiring the next generation of engineers. While my main interest is sound, I have an interest in conveying more general engineering and science to a wider audience. So far, my media work has been mostly reactive, with a couple of examples of successful proactive activities. The fellowship proposal is for a series of proactive activities targeted at local and national media, to give me the opportunity of explaining engineering and science to a larger audience.

我已经展示了一种能力，以一种吸引人的方式，无论是面对面还是通过媒体，向不同的非专业观众传达当前的声学研究。举两个例子，我是Famelab的决赛选手，我在皇家学院给学生讲课。声音是所有媒体形式的共同主题，无论是报纸上对最新iPod技术的评论，还是电视新闻中关于如何处理嘈杂的反社会行为的讨论。声音也在学校课程的所有关键阶段。因此，声音是这项研究的理想主题，因为它可以丰富公众对日常经验与工程和科学之间联系的理解。它也是激励下一代工程师的理想主题。虽然我的主要兴趣是声音，但我有兴趣向更广泛的受众传达更多的一般工程和科学。到目前为止，我的媒体工作大多是被动的，有几个成功的主动活动的例子。奖学金的建议是针对当地和国家媒体的一系列积极主动的活动，让我有机会向更多的观众解释工程和科学。
