Brief Bio Michael J. Freedman is an Associate
Professor in the Computer Science Department at Princeton University.
His research broadly focuses on distributed systems, networking, and
security, and has led to commercial products and deployed systems
reaching millions of users daily. Honors include a Presidential Early
Career Award (PECASE), Sloan Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award, ONR
Young Investigator Award, and DARPA CSSG membership.
Bio
Michael J. Freedman is an Associate Professor in the
Computer Science Department at Princeton University, with a research
focus on distributed systems, networking, and security. Prior to
joining Princeton in 2007, he received his Ph.D. in computer science
from NYU's Courant Institute and his S.B. and M.Eng. degrees from MIT.
He developed and operates several self-managing systems -- including
CoralCDN, a decentralized content distribution network, and DONAR, a
server resolution system powering the FCC's Consumer Broadband Test --
which serve millions of users daily. Other research has included
software-defined and service-centric networking, cloud storage and data
management, untrusted cloud services, fault-tolerant distributed
systems, virtual world systems, peer-to-peer systems, and various
privacy-enhancing and anti-censorship systems. Freedman's work on IP
geolocation and intelligence led him to co-found Illuminics Systems,
which was acquired by Quova (now part of Neustar) in 2006. His work on
programmable enterprise networking (Ethane) helped form the basis for
the OpenFlow / software-defined networking architecture. Honors include
a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE),
Sloan Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award, Office of Naval Research Young
Investigator Award, and DARPA Computer Science Study Group membership.
Longer Bio
Michael J. Freedman is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science
Department at Princeton University, with a research focus on distributed
systems, networking, and security. Prior to joining Princeton in 2007,
e received his Ph.D. in computer science from NYU's Courant Institute
and his S.B. and M.Eng. degrees from MIT.
Freedman developed and operates several self-managing systems, including
CoralCDN, a decentralized content distribution network that serves
millions of users daily since 2004. Other research has included
software-defined networking, service-centric networking and
next-generation end-host stacks, cloud storage and data management,
untrusted cloud services, fault-tolerant distributed systems, virtual
world systems, peer-to-peer systems, and various privacy-enhancing,
anti-censorship, and anti-spam systems.
During a two-year research appointment at Stanford, Michael's work on IP
geolocation and intelligence led him to co-found Illuminics Systems,
which was acquired by Quova (now part of Neustar) in 2006. His work on
programmable enterprise networking (Ethane) helped form the basis for
the OpenFlow/SDN architecture being standardized by the Open Networking
Foundation. His work on locality/load-based server selection (DONAR)
provides name resolution for services on the Measurement Lab testbed,
including those powering the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s
Consumer Broadband Test.
Honors include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and
Engineers (PECASE, nominated by the National Science Foundation and
given by President Obama), Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award,
Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, DARPA Computer
Science Study Group membership, Princeton’s Emerson Electric Company /
E. Lawrence Keyes Faculty Advancement Award, the Janet Fabri Prize for
best NYU PhD thesis in CS, NDSEG and NSF graduate fellowships, and award
papers at SIGCOMM, USENIX Security, Eurocrypt, CCS, and LADIS. He has
served on the technical program committees for SOSP, OSDI, SIGCOMM,
NSDI, IEEE Security, CCS, HotOS, USENIX, and other top conferences. His
research is funded by the National Science Foundation, DARPA, Office of
Naval Research, GENI Project Office, Sloan Foundation, Princeton's Grand
Challenges Program, Cisco Systems, Intel, and Google.
