Susan Landau (born June 3, 1954, New York[1]) is an American mathematician and engineer, and Professor of Social Science and Policy Studies at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.[2] She previously worked as a Senior Staff Privacy Analyst at Google.[3] She was a Guggenheim Fellow[4] and a Visiting Scholar at the Computer Science Department, Harvard University in 2012.[5]
In 2010–2011, she was a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, where she investigated issues involving security of government systems, and their privacy and policy implications.[6]
From 1999 until 2010, she specialized in internet security at Sun Microsystems.[7]
In 1989, she introduced the first algorithm for deciding which nested radicals can be denested, which is known as Landau's algorithm.[8]
In 1972, her project on odd perfect numbers won a finalist position in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search.[9] Outside of her technical work, she is interested in the issues of women in science, maintaining the ResearcHers Email list, a "forum for women computer science researchers",[10] and an online bibliography of women's writing in computer science.[11] She was awarded the 2008 Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Award for Social Impact.[12] In 2011 she was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[13]
