hello! i work full time as an engineer (med device) and doing grad school part time for masters in biomed engineering online.
I really wanted to get involved in some form of research, and it’s been tough finding visitor grad student research opportunities at local universities/research sites near me.
i think i do have the option of finding research at my current place of employment, but im wondering if anyone has done something like this before? some of my goals would be to be involved in publishing/patent/etc, which i think my company would support, but im concerned on the legal aspect - would all this work be “owned” by my company rather than myself? is there some merit if i do proceed with this option? am i missing any potential red flags of doing research at my current med device company?
thanks for any help or questions i should consider!
