Friedman studied at Northwestern University and from 1970 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received his doctorate in 1976 with Gerald E. Sacks (Recursion on Inadmissible Ordinals). From 1979 he was on the faculty of MIT, from 1990 with a full professorship. Since 1999 he has been Professor of Mathematical Logic at the University of Vienna and Director of the Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic there .
He deals with recursion theory, axiomatic set theory (with connections to model theory), descriptive set theory.
Sy Friedman is the brother of the mathematician Harvey Friedman .
