      I think that would have to be no. Sorry.

      I tell you what, if it is possible and I can help you, I will. If we share the credit? My work will not let me help you unless we share the credit. But the credit can be shared in different ways, I could write a paper about it and you could tell people and your school about it!

      Well, I’m not the right person to ask as anything I invent or develop is owned by the university I work for, and besides it’s far more satisfying to reap the benefits of hard work then to ride on the coat tails of someone else’s – but that’s just my opinion!

      Research is all about people with different skills working together. THere’s the ideas guys, the one’s witht the expensive machines etc. etc. If you tell us what it is, we can give you advice about where to go for help.
