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.

Patrick was one of the first academics I worked with when I joined Essex in 2013. I was new to the higher education sector and I was newly pregnant. We were meeting to discuss some cracking research he was working on but he was far more interested in hearing all about me, the pregnancy and how my eldest was getting on having just started at school. Straight away he made me feel like a valued colleague. His humour, kindness, vibrancy and generosity of spirit shone out of him. I can't believe he's gone and his presence will be hugely missed.
