Caitlin Cox

Caitlin is a soon-to-be graduating senior majoring in mathematics at UCLA, and a long-standing wildlife lover and rehabilitator. Since joining the Lloyd-Smith Lab in 2018, she has made huge contributions to wildlife surveillance projects, data analyses and coding challenges. She is really interested in how computer science and applied mathematics can be used in conservation and OneHealth contexts. Her interests in exploring bromethalin exposure and toxicity in wildlife stem from seeing animals suffering from bromethalin seizures in the wildlife rehabilitation center she worked at, and she sparked a conversation with the National Park Service about exposure in local mountain lions which made us want to further explore this toxin locally.
