Devin L. Shaffer
Principal Investigator
Dr. Shaffer is a researcher and engineer with a focus on water treatment. He studies materials and systems for water treatment with the aim of creating new and resilient water supplies through desalination technologies and reuse strategies. Currently, Dr. Shaffer investigates controlling membrane structure to improve desalination performance. He employs novel characterization techniques like neutron radiography and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to gain insight into structure-property relationships that influence membrane performance.
