Prof. Daniel Freund

Before coming to MIT, Daniel Freund was a research fellow at Lyft Marketplace Labs. Freund has a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Cornell University. Freund's research focuses on complex decision-making problems in the sharing economy. During his Ph.D., he developed the systems used by bike-sharing companies to ensure there are available bikes spread out among docking stations.

Professor research applies techniques from optimization, stochastic modeling, and revenue management to problems in transportation, online platforms, and humanitarian immigration among others.
