Kirsty Young's castaway is the engineer and international expert on aircraft noise reduction, Professor Dame Ann Dowling.

The first female president of the Royal Academy of Engineering, one of her passions is encouraging more young people, particularly women to choose engineering as a career. In 1998 she became the first female professor of Engineering at Cambridge University and went on to be the first female head of the Department.

As a child she was fascinated with how things worked, taking her bike apart aged six, and even dismantling the electric lights in her dolls house. Later, an over enthusiastic session with her chemistry set caused the conservatory curtains to briefly catch fire.

A passion for aeroplanes led her down the path of aeroacoustics and aircraft noise reduction alongside her hobby of flying airplanes.

She was awarded the DBE for services to science in 2007 and was appointed to the Order of Merit in 2016.



工程师和飞机降噪方面的国际专家，Dame Ann Dowling教授。

作为皇家工程学院的第一位女院长，她的热情之一是鼓励更多的年轻人，特别是女性选择工程作为职业。1998年，她成为剑桥大学工程系的第一位女教授，后来又成为该系的第一位女系主任。

小时候，她对事物的运作非常着迷，六岁时就把自己的自行车拆开，甚至把娃娃家的电灯也拆开了。后来，她对化学装置的过度热情导致温室的窗帘短暂起火。

对飞机的热情使她走上了航空声学和飞机降噪的道路，同时她也有驾驶飞机的爱好。

2007年，她因对科学的贡献而被授予DBE，并在2016年被任命为荣誉勋章。
