George C.-Y. Chan develops analytical chemistry methods that use light and plasma to identify and measure elements in samples. A major focus is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a technique that fires a laser at a material, creates a small glowing plasma, and reads the emitted light to determine chemical composition. Much of the recent work applies these methods to detecting and measuring uranium and its isotopes, including in gaseous uranium hexafluoride.
