Amy L. Lansky
Amy Linda Lansky (born 1955) is an American author, computer scientist, and homeopath, noted for having written Impossible Cure: the Promise of Homeopathy which touches on her anti-vaxx position.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Lansky grew up in Buffalo, New York. She received a B.A. from University of Rochester in 1977 and a M.S. (1979) and Ph.D. (1983) in Computer Science from Stanford University, for her thesis "Specification and analysis of concurrency".[2]
Career[edit]
In the 1980s and 1990s, Lansky worked at SRI International and at NASA Ames Research Center on artificial intelligence techniques for planning, for example for robots.[3][4] Some of her later computer science publications were from her own company, Renaissance Research.[5]
In 1998, Lansky left the field of computer science to study homeopathy. This transition was prompted by her perceived success at using homeopathy to "cure her son of Autism."[6][7]
In 2003, Lansky published Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy.[8]
