  • 2011 - ACM Fellow For contributions to fault-tolerant distributed computing.

Overview

Dahlia Malkhi is affiliated with the Diem Association in the United States, with a primary focus on computer science and its applications. Their research spans across several subfields, notably computer networks and communications, information systems, artificial intelligence, experimental and cognitive psychology, and software.

Their work covers a range of topics, including distributed systems and fault tolerance, blockchain technology applications and security, cryptography and data security, cognitive functions and memory, age of information optimization, caching and content delivery, and interconnection networks and systems.

Their recent publications demonstrate active involvement in both theoretical and applied aspects of these fields. Notable papers include:

  • "A Benchmark Framework for Byzantine Fault Tolerance Testing Algorithms (Tool Paper)" (2025), published by Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (Schloss Dagstuhl)
  • "Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) Protection on a DAG" (2022), published on arXiv (Cornell University)
  • "Incentive Compatibility of Ethereum's PoS Consensus Protocol" (2025), from Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (Schloss Dagstuhl)
  • "Optimal Communication Complexity of Authenticated Byzantine Agreement" (2021), published on arXiv (Cornell University)
  • "HotStuff-1: Linear Consensus with One-Phase Speculation" (2025), appearing in the Proceedings of the ACM on Management of Data

Their frequent co-authors reflect collaboration with several researchers in the field, including Maofan Yin, Alexander Spiegelman, Chrysoula Stathakopoulou, Ittai Abraham, and Kartik Nayak. These partnerships have contributed to a breadth of research outputs, often within their main fields of study.

Dahlia Malkhi has published extensively in venues such as arXiv (Cornell University), with twelve publications there, and the Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (Schloss Dagstuhl), which includes five publications. Additional publication venues include the Proceedings of the ACM on Management of Data, ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, and ACM Transactions on Storage.

Recognition of their work includes the ACM Fellow award in 2011, cited specifically for contributions to fault-tolerant distributed computing.
