Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErin Nolan is an Associate Lecturer and PhD researcher in soft robotics and granular matter at UCL with 11 years of engineering experience connecting hands-on invention to pedagogy. She co-develops and teaches modules for UCL’s new Robotics and AI degrees while researching a novel soft-robotic pipeline that uses inflating/deflating wall bubbles to prevent jamming in dense granular flows. Her background blends electrical and mechanical engineering with practical projects ranging from superconducting thin films and battery systems to haptic microbubble actuators and a patented walking-aid for sand. Erin regularly supports undergraduate labs and advanced control theory tutorials, translating research insights into effective teaching. Based in London, she combines curiosity about embodied intelligence and morphological computation with a knack for turning prototypes into deployable systems. A self-described inventor and polyglot developer, she brings interdisciplinary creativity to both classroom and lab.
