Research Scientist
Caleb Bowyer earned his PhD in engineering from the University of Florida. His dissertation explored how to perform sensor network fusion to optimize shared team goals, particularly minimizing localization errors in target tracking problems. At the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC), he leads the DETECT research initiative and directs Operation Digital Overwatch—an OSINT initiative to identify and analyze emerging online threats to retailers. Caleb also facilitates the Data Analytics Working Group (DAWG), which brings together data scientists from Fortune 500 companies each month to exchange data, methods, tools, and strategies. His research focuses on developing machine learning models to detect theft, fraud, and violence earlier and farther from the store. Outside of work, Caleb enjoys training for his first Ironman competition.
