Welcome to
Lawrence J. Overzet's
Research Costs Page.

The cost of doing research in a university lab is usually submitted with each proposal.  Many of the costs depend upon the level of effort required and the level of the materials and supplies as well as travel and publication costs involved.  Much of this is well known by the individual lab personnel, but, not very well known by local industry.  I've decided to publish what those costs are like in the Plasma Applications Lab. on this page.  The cost of each project will vary in the details of course, but, feel free to use this page to estimate what your project might cost.  I'll look forward to working with you.
