Michael J. Freedman - Center for Information Technology Policy at Center for Information Technology Policy, Princeton University3 Followers
Michael J. Freedman serves as a distinguished professor of computer science at Princeton University, where he plays a key role within the Center for Information Technology Policy. His research delves into the complex and vital areas of distributed systems, networking, and security, fields where his contributions have been notably impactful. Beyond his academic pursuits, he is also the visionary co-founder and CEO of iobeam, an innovative platform designed for analyzing data specifically from the Internet of Things.
His academic path is distinguished by time spent at highly regarded institutions. He completed his Ph.D. in computer science at the Courant Institute at New York University, building upon his foundational studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned both his S.B. and M.Eng. degrees. Early in his career, he was instrumental in developing pioneering self-managing systems, including CoralCDN, a decentralized network for content distribution, and DONAR, a system for server resolution that was significant in the FCC's Consumer Broadband Test.
Adding to his academic and entrepreneurial work, Professor Freedman has been a leader in advancing technologies for IP geolocation and intelligence. This led him to co-found Illuminics Systems, a company later acquired by Quova, which is now part of Neustar, back in 2006. His groundbreaking efforts in creating programmable enterprise networks, particularly through the Ethane project, were foundational, paving the way for the OpenFlow and software-defined networking (SDN) architecture that has since transformed how networks are managed and operated.
Professor Freedman's significant contributions to the field of computer science have been recognized through numerous prestigious awards. He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), a Sloan Fellowship, and an NSF CAREER Award. His innovative research has also earned him an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award and membership in the DARPA Computer Science Study Group, highlighting his influence and leadership within the computer science community.
Beyond his impressive technical achievements, Professor Freedman is deeply committed to guiding the next generation of computer scientists and cultivating an environment of innovation and teamwork at Princeton. His ongoing work continues to shape the future of technology, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical research insights and their practical application in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of computer science.
