Daum received his Ph.D. summa cum laude in 1995 from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where he taught for six years as an assistant professor.

He is best known as a biographer of Alexander von Humboldt[2] and for his studies on popular science, emigrants from Nazi Germany, and the United States’ special relationship with "America’s Berlin".[3] His book Kennedy in Berlin highlights the role of emotions in the Cold War and provides a comprehensive explanation of John F. Kennedy's 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.[4][5]

In 2019, he was awarded the Humboldt Prize, a lifetime achievement award for international scientists and scholars, and invited to spend the year 2019–20 at the University of Munich.[6] He has received fellowships and grants from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, American Philosophical Society, National Endowment for the Humanities, Smithsonian Institution, Gerda Henkel Foundation, DAAD, and the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes.
