Isaac graduated from the University of Bath with a BSc in Natural Sciences (Physics with Chemistry), in which he undertook a year-long placement at Shell Global Solutions as an Electric Mobility intern. For his final year project, Isaac developed a model to predict financial crashes by utilising the self-exciting nature of a financial market, a technique that is used to predict earthquakes and their aftershocks. During his time at Shell, Isaac worked on many projects surrounding electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, including research into smart charging and discharging profiles to reduce battery degradation during DC fast charging, analysing data for the Wireless Charging of Electric Taxis (WiCET) Project, and the creation and management of an electric vehicle database. He also gained considerable expertise in the ISO 15118 charging communication standard, its “Plug and Charge” feature, and the related ecosystem. Outside of university, Isaac is an avid drummer and enjoys powerlifting, swimming, tennis and running.
