Bobcat Spotlight: Nolan Morrison ’18
By Danielle Krause
This month’s Bobcat Spotlight shines on Nolan Morrison, a proud member of the Class of 2018. Originally from Bedford, New Hampshire, Nolan excelled in lacrosse and soccer during his two years as a Bobcat. Now he is excelling as an analyst at Deloitte, based in the consulting firm’s Boston office. Deloitte is a global leader in management consulting, offering a range of services to businesses and organizations across various industries.
In his role, Nolan says he often collaborates with top-tier professionals—and has the chance to engage in projects that sharpen his skills in problem-solving, strategic thinking, data modeling and visualization, and process optimization. The challenges can be complex, but he enjoys finding the best solutions. His focus lies in life sciences strategy for major biopharmaceutical companies. He currently supports the development of an Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP) for several oncology assets within the company’s pipeline to foster cross-functional alignment on the data needed to demonstrate safety, efficacy, and competitive differentiation for the drugs in development.
Before joining Deloitte, Nolan received his degree in Chemical Engineering from Pennsylvania’s Bucknell University. He was very involved in campus activities, from playing club soccer to leading his peers as the Class of 2022 Representative for the Bucknell chapter of The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). Under the mentorship of Dr. Brandon Vogel, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Nolan delved into biomaterial research, culminating in a groundbreaking project on injectable hydrogels for targeted drug delivery. This research earned acclaim, leading to participation in the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program and publication in the international journal Gels. Nolan has also received other accolades, including The Robert E. Slonaker, Jr. Memorial Award and The James M. Pommersheim Research and Innovation in Engineering Award.
