Biography:Amy L. Lansky
Amy Linda Lansky (born 1955) is an United States author, computer scientist, and homeopath, noted for having written Impossible Cure: the Promise of Homeopathy.
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".[1]
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.[2][3] Some of her later computer science publications were from her own company, Renaissance Research.[4]
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."[5][6]
In 2003, Lansky published Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy (ISBN:0-9727514-0-8). This book is now used as a textbook in homeopathy schools and is cited in a number of other books on homeopathy and autism.[7][8][9]
Her husband, Steven M. Rubin, Ph.D., is a computer scientist who maintains the online searchable VAERS database, MedAlerts. He has worked voluntarily for the National Vaccine Information Center since 2005.[10]
