一般就用background,没必要讲technical background~
要讲某个方面的background,可以讲background in X-field.
下面是我老师发给我的一封邮件~
Dear student,
We have a Research Masters scholarship for a project in which we study and develop bio-acoustic voice recognition system.
This is to start in January 2009.
You need to have background in pattern recognition or computer vision or signal processing,or other related subject disciplines.
If you have interest or know someone that would be interested please drop me your name and student number.
Regards,
Philip
