Jennifer Donovan, Ma.ED, M.S, PhD,  is an Associate Teaching Professor in the School of Math and Natural Sciences for Arizona State University. Her research experiences include work on folivory in Costa Rica, forage enhancement in Mexico, recovery work in Idaho along with lab-based research in conjunction with Dr. Petra Fromme. She has also worked with the AERO Institute and NASA to design radiation experiments for the STEM Excelsior Mission.  Her continued research involves the effectiveness of medical interventions for children with certain genetic disorders and she has been published in The American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C. Dr. Donovan continues to work on research which focuses on therapy services for disabled children along with efficacy of specific online instruction for a large online chemistry course.

Dr. Donovan is particularly interested in the use of technology to aid in instruction and to garner interest into STEM fields for all students. She has partnered with organizations such as iSAW to advance gender equity worldwide. She has performed outreach with several local high schools to promote this idea and is continually open to updating courses to reach out to broader audiences and provide real word applications to the study of basic and introductory chemistry. This has led her into the field of publishing easily available and inexpensive text material to benefit all students.
