Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Gary S. Prinz investigates the development and application of drug delivery systems, with a recent focus on transdermal patches for pain management in cattle. His work includes the design, characterization, and modeling of chitosan microneedle patches for the transdermal delivery of meloxicam. This research aims to provide a targeted strategy for pain relief in livestock.

Prinz's research portfolio also extends to structural engineering, where he has studied fatigue strengthening and damage prevention in metallic bridges using pre-stressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. His publications in this area address design criteria, minimum pre-stress levels, and finite element analysis for fatigue damage reduction in riveted and bolted metallic structures. He also has work on eccentrically braced frame links and shear studs in composite bridge girders.

With an h-index of 17 and over 56 publications, Prinz has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a collaborative research project on a discrete modeling framework for fracture and damage prediction in structural steel. His collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include David Gonzalez-Nino, Cameron D. Murray, Katherine A. Miranda-Muñoz, and Mahyar Afshar‐Mohajer, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
