She was part of the Environmental Energy Technology Division, and developed strategies to analyse lithium-ion batteries at high resolution.
She studied ultra-thin interfacial layers to evaluate how chemical reactions that occur during charging impact battery performance after electrochemical cycling.
[2] Zorba uses ultrafast lasers and advanced laser-based manufacturing tools for nonlinear optics, chemistry and remote sensing.
[3] This has applications in many technology areas, including energy (batteries and solar cells) as well as biomedical and nuclear security.
[2] She worked on the ChemCam (the Chemistry and Camera complex) instrument for Curiosity, which incorporated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
