I would suspect that could be a challenge (not knowing his field specifically)

Ah, I see. I didn't think about that.
I was actually fortunate enough to work a summer with a professor doing research, not as a grad student, but just for work experience. It was understood at the beginning that he owned all the data I collected and owned the research, but when he published his paper, he graciously (and to my surprise) added my name to the credits. I didn't expect it or think I was really worthy of it, but it actually did help me later in life being able to put that on my CV and his name was known in the industry, so I see what you mean.
