Hawkins would like to extend a very warm welcome to acoustics and vibration consultant, Marie Gauthier to our London team.
Marie, who relocated from France in 2016, brings a wealth of experience across various sectors. She holds a Master’s degree in Engineering from Nice, having completed her studies through an apprenticeship. Marie’s placement at a research lab saw her specialising in acoustic porous materials where she focused her thesis on developing an auralisation module with existing software that evaluates the sound absorption and transmission properties of complex multi-layer systems. This innovation allows listeners to understand how acoustic treatment would sound within a simulated room, which has proven to be valuable in explaining acoustic concepts to clients and manufacturers in the construction industry.
Marie’s interests include sound propagation and room acoustics modelling, which she has applied to numerous prestigious projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, utilising her coding skills. Each project presented unique challenges, requiring a blend of technical expertise, creativity, and collaboration with architects, mechanical engineers, and construction teams, throughout RIBA stages 0 to 7.
Marie joins our expanding team of acoustics consultants where she will undertake investigations into acoustics failures and provide formal reports for both building acoustics and environmental noise consultancy. She will create sound propagation and room acoustics modelling and provide technical expertise, creativity, and collaboration with architects and mechanical engineers to ensure that the acoustic design is seamlessly integrated into residential, healthcare, educational, cultural and government premises.
We are delighted to have Marie on board.
