Education and career

Jane Fox attended Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School from 1967-1970.

Fox has a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Michigan (1973) [1] and earned her Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard University in 1978. [2] She was on the faculty at Stony Brook University from 1984 to 2003.[ citation needed ] [3] Fox joined Wright State University in 2002 as a research professor at Wright State University in the Boonshoft School of Medicine. [4] [5]

Research

Fox is known for her research modeling the atmosphere on Mars, [6] including details on nitrogen found in the Martian atmosphere. [7] She has also worked on the atmosphere around Venus [8] [9] and examined hydrocarbons in atmosphere of Titan, one of the moon's of Saturn. [10] Fox was a member of the science team for the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) project [11] where she studied long-term changes in Mars' atmosphere. [12] [13]

Since 1977, Fox has published 92 articles and 85 presentations in her field. [14]
