LASR Projects
LASR projects will be diverse and may cover any area of inquiry. Our affiliation with the University of Idaho enables access to all departments and colleges so that our efforts can include applied research in any field: from biotechnology to information technology, market analysis, marketing, advertising and more. Our primary focus however, is applied science research to address specific problems encountered by our partners. Initial projects will typically have durations of weeks to months with well-defined expected outcomes.
