Isaac also worked as an RoHS Intern, researching and testing the material composition and replacements for several different substrate materials. In 2008, they began working as a Graduate Student Researcher at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany, utilizing deposition techniques to create novel structures for use in research on the semiconductor and energy sectors. In 2010, they co-founded and served as Scientific Advisor for B.E.S.S. Technologies, developing a novel anode material for use in high-capacity Li-ion batteries. From 2014-2016, they worked as Senior Scientist at Magnolia Optical Technologies, Inc., developing and optimizing a graphene based bolometer (IR detector), and as Senior Battery Technology Engineer and Advanced Battery Technology Engineer at BMW of North America, LLC, managing US based projects in Li-ion batteries. From 2014-2019, they worked as Research Scientist at SUNY Polytechnic Institute and CTO at Nanergy Solar (now Holistic Solar), developing a hybrid Ni-Fe battery system with a hydrogen fuel cell for home energy storage applications. In 2020, they became a Venture Partner at Rebel One - RBL1, scouting for companies in the cleantech and frontier tech spaces. Currently, they are a Principal Cell Engineer at Amprius Inc.

Isaac Lund began their educational journey in 2001 when they earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science from UC Irvine. Isaac then continued their studies at the University at Albany, SUNY, where they earned a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nanotechnology in 2008, followed by a Masters of Science (2013) in the same field. Currently, Isaac is pursuing a Master of Business Administration - MBA from the University of Wisconsin MBA Consortium, which they are expected to complete in 2023.
