Patrick Nolen

March 18, 1978 - October 11, 2020

Dr Nolen was a beloved and esteemed member of the Department of Economics at University of Essex for over a decade. He joined Essex in 2006 and immediately became an invaluable part of every aspect of the Department's life. He was an outstanding and sought-after educator, an extremely driven and high-achieving researcher, and an inspirational and exemplar leader. He played a key role in the development of EssexLab and became its Director recently. To his colleagues, Patrick was a sparkling presence and much like a family member. He was generous, funny, lively, and very much loved. He is greatly missed.

I worked with Patrick once he was made Director of EssexLab. What stays with me was the commitment he had to deliver on the role and to be the best that he could be. How he managed to convey this seriousness at the same time as making me laugh so hard is a mystery to me. He always arrived in my office like a whirlwind - usually with a story to tell and a glint in his eye. He occupied the space that he stood in so completely. This is devastating news to all who worked with him. We shall miss him - his commitment coupled with his mischievousness was a breath of fresh air.
