Michael J. Freedman is an American computer scientist who is a Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. He is notable, along with David Mazières, for designing and operating the Coral Content Distribution Network, a peer-to-peer content distribution network that was initially released in 2004 and operated until 2015.[1] His research interests include distributed systems, networking, and security.[2]

In 2001 and 2002, Freedman earned an S.B and M.Eng. at MIT, respectively. In 2005 and 2007, he earned an M.S. and Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, under his doctoral advisor David Mazières, who Freedman worked with to release the Coral Content Distribution Network earlier in 2004. In 2007, he became a professor at Princeton University.[2]

In March 2006, Freedman co-founded Illuminics Systems, an information technology company in the area of IP geolocation and intelligence, with Martin Casado. The company was acquired by Quova, Inc. in November, 2006.[3]

In 2011, Freedman was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for designing, building, and prototyping a storage cloud system and for work to increase student diversity at Princeton.[4] His research involving the design and deployment of geo-distributed systems earned him the Grace Murray Hopper Award in 2018.[5]
