Malkhi earned her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, finishing her Ph.D. in 1994 under the supervision of Danny Dolev.[1][2] She taught at the Hebrew University until 2007, and then joined Microsoft Research at their Silicon Valley research center. In 2014, when Microsoft closed the center, she moved to VMware,[1] a company working in cloud computing and platform virtualization.[3]

In 2011, Malkhi became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for contributions to fault-tolerant distributed computing."[4]

gollark: Calculators mildly improved in the past few years, so the random cheap ones almost everyone has for school here have somewhat high res monochrome graphical displays and can display expressions in a vaguely mathy-looking way.
gollark: Monochrome ones mostly, but still.
gollark: All COOL calculators have graphical displays these days.
gollark: Indeed.
gollark: There are many... Cortex-Msomething ARM things available, yes.
