Freed studied at Harvard University, where he received his [[bachelor’s]] and [[master’s]] degrees in 1981. He received his [[Ph.D.]] from the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in 1985 with thesis ”The geometry of loop groups” under [[Isadore Singer]].<ref>{{MathGenealogy|id=32562|name=Daniel Stuart Freed}}</ref> As a [[postdoc]], Freed was a [[C. L. E. Moore instructor|Moore Instructor]] at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], and then became an assistant professor at the [[University of Chicago]]. Beginning in 1989, he was an associate professor, and from 1994, a professor at the [[University of Texas at Austin]]. From 1996 to 1998, he was at the [[Institute for Advanced Study]] (IAS) and he was a visiting scientist at the [[Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques]] (1995, 1999).
