Michael J. Freedman is an American computer scientist who is the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University , where he works on distributed systems , networking, and security. He is also the cofounder of database company Timescale .
Education and career
Freedman graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School in Pennsylvania in 1997. [1] In 2001 and 2002, he earned an S.B. and a M.Eng., respectively, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 2005 and 2007, he earned an M.S. and a Ph.D., respectively, from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University , and spent 2005–2007 at Stanford University . Freedman completed his doctoral studies under David Mazières, who Freedman worked with to release the Coral Content Distribution Network in 2004. In 2007, he was appointed a professor at Princeton University. [2]
With David Mazières, Freedman designed and operated the Coral Content Distribution Network, a peer-to-peer content distribution network that was initially released in 2004 and operated until 2015. [3] In March 2006, Freedman co-founded Illuminics Systems, an information technology company working in the area of IP geolocation and intelligence, with Martin Casado . The company was acquired by Quova in November 2006. [2]
Freedman's research interests include distributed systems , networking, and security. [2] In addition to his work with the Coral Content Distribution Network, he has designed systems such as TimescaleDB and JetStream. [4]
Recognition
In 2011, Freedman received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for his work in designing, building, and prototyping a "modern, highly scalable, replicated storage cloud system" in addition to efforts to increase student diversity at Princeton University. [5] His research involving the design and deployment of geo-distributed systems earned him the Grace Murray Hopper Award in 2018. [6] He was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2019 "for contributions to robust distributed systems for the modern cloud", [7] and was awarded the SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award by the organization in 2021. [8]
