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.
Early life and education
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".
Career
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. Some of her later computer science publications were from her own company, Renaissance Research.
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."
In 2003, Lansky published Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy.
