Muli Ben-Yehuda is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and systems researcher who has spent 20+ years doing things with computers that most people didn't think were possible. He co-founded Lightbits Labs in 2016 and wore pretty much every hat there — CTO, Chief Scientist, Head of Product, Chief R&D Officer — before recently stepping back to a special advisor and board member position.
Before Lightbits, he spent a decade at IBM Research as a senior researcher and IBM Master Inventor, then founded a boutique cloud consulting firm, then went and solved hard cloud computing problems as Chief Scientist at Stratoscale.
His fingerprints are all over modern infrastructure: 40+ academic papers, 45+ US patents, and code running in the Linux kernel, Xen, and KVM. He's one of the inventors of NVMe/TCP — a protocol quietly powering a large chunk of the world's storage — and his research has won the OSDI Jay Lepreau Best Paper Award, the IBM Pat Goldberg Memorial Award, and most recently the ACM ASPLOS 2024 Influential Paper Award.
He holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science (summa cum laude) from the Technion and a B.A. (cum laude) from the Open University of Israel. He does not use the third person much, except when writing bios.
