The "Crazy Scientist" from Neil Gaiman's novel *Other* is Dr. Caroline Kepler, a brilliant but eccentric physicist.

She works at the underground facility known as the Other Place. Her primary research focuses on particle physics and the potential of matter transference, a concept central to the book's narrative.

Kepler's brilliance is evident in her complex experiments and understanding of physics. Her social awkwardness and unconventional behavior earn her the "Crazy Scientist" label. She's often engrossed in her work to the exclusion of others and exhibits a detached, almost clinical demeanor.

Despite her peculiarities, Kepler is ultimately driven by scientific curiosity. She is willing to take risks to advance her research, even if those risks have unforeseen and potentially dangerous consequences. Her actions are a key element in the unfolding events within the Other Place.
