Michael Hartley Freedman (born April 21, 1951) is an American mathematician, at Microsoft Station Q, a research group at the University of California, Santa Barbara.[1] In 1986, he was awarded a Fields Medal for his work on the 4-dimensional generalized Poincaré conjecture. Freedman and Robion Kirby showed that an exotic ℝ4 manifold exists.

Life and career

Freedman was born in Los Angeles, California, in the United States His father, Benedict Freedman, was an American Jewish aeronautical engineer, musician, writer, and mathematician.[2][3] His mother, Nancy Mars Freedman, performed as an actress and also trained as an artist.[4] His parents cowrote a series of novels together. He entered the University of California, Berkeley, and after two semesters dropped out.[5] In the same year he wrote a letter to Ralph Fox, a Princeton professor at the time, and was admitted to graduate school so in 1968 he continued his studies at Princeton University where he received Ph.D. degree in 1973 for his doctoral dissertation titled Codimension-Two Surgery, written under the supervision of William Browder. After graduating, Freedman was appointed a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. He held this post from 1973 until 1975, when he became a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton. In 1976 he was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California San Diego. He spent the year 1980/81 at IAS, returning to UC San Diego, where in 1982 he was promoted to professor. He was appointed the Charles Lee Powell chair of mathematics at UC San Diego in 1985.

프리드먼은 슬로언과 구겐하임 펠로우쉽, 맥아더 펠로우쉽, 그리고 국가 과학 훈장을 포함한 수많은 다른 상과 영예를 받았다. 그는 미국국립과학아카데미에서 선출된 회원이며, 미국예술과학아카데미와 미국수학협회의 동료다.[6] 1986년 버클리 국제수학자대회(ICM)에서 필즈상을 수상한 것 외에 1983년 바르샤바에서[7] ICM, 1998년 베를린에서 ICM에서 초청 연사로 활동했다.[8] 그는 현재 그의 팀이 위상 양자 컴퓨터 개발에 관여하고 있는 산타 바바라 캘리포니아 대학의 마이크로소프트 스테이션 Q에서 일하고 있다.
