**Otto** (@ottodacorgi) is a Welsh Pembroke Corgi and the mascot of our lab. He likes naps, people, and food.

**Katherine (Katie) Link** is previously a Google AI Resident where she participated in Google-X’s Project Amber and a former fellow from the Allen Institute for Brain Science. She is interested in using deep learning to advance modern healthcare and medicine further our understanding of the human brain. Past projects ranged from using deep learning to reconstruct electron microscopy imaging and MRI studies, to attempting to diagnose depression from integrating psychophysics with electrophysiology recordings. Her current project is NYUMets – building the world’s largest open dataset of brain metastases (and cancer) and studying the use of recurrent models with longitudinal imaging of metastatic cancer.

**Daniel Orringer, M.D. (DO)** (@DanOrringerMD) is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Pathology in the Department of Neurosurgery of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is one of the inventors of stimulated Raman histology and is an international leader in the use of intraoperative, digital pathology to guide clinical care. As a neurosurgeon at NYU Langone’s Brain and Spine Tumor Center, part of Perlmutter Cancer Center, he treats people who have tumors of the spinal cord and the brain, both those that originate in the brain and spread to the brain from other organs. DO runs a highly interdisciplinary, National Health Institutes–funded research group focused on three initiatives—we aim to improve surgical outcomes for people with brain tumors, use artificial intelligence to support surgical decision-making and brain tumor diagnosis, and conduct clinical and translational trials of novel therapeutics. He is the recipient of six grants from the National Institutes of Health. He is most proud of receiving the Andrew Parsa Young Investigator Basic/Translational Research Award from the Society for Neuro-Oncology in 2016, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons’ Innovator of the Year Award in 2017, and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons’ Rosenblum–Mahaley Clinical Research Award in 2019.
