Janne Blichert-Toft is ageochemist, specializing in the use ofisotopes with applications in understanding planetarymantle-crust evolution, as well as thechemical composition of matter in the universe. To further this research, Blichert-Toft has developed techniques for high-precisionIsotope-ratio mass spectrometry measurements.[1]
Subsequently, Blichert-Toft was at theAustralian National University in 2004, atCambridge University in 2005, atTokyo University in 2006, and at theUniversity of Chicago in 2011.[3]
From 2008 to 2015, she was also adjunct faculty and Distinguished Wiess Visiting Scholar atRice University.[4]
After her Marie-Curie post-doctorate, Blichert-Toft joined the CNRS in 1997 and became Director of Research in 2002 working at theÉcole normale supérieure de Lyon.
