Deepali Khushraj

Background

I joined Nokia Research Center, Boston in June 2003. My current research focuses on Semantic Web, Service-oriented architecture(SOA) and Context-awareness. Prior to Nokia, I was a research assistant in the ebiquity group, where I worked on Agent-based systems and Mobile Middleware. I received a master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and a bachelor's degree from BITS, Pilani in India.

Software

I enjoy designing and developing software. In the recent past, I have developed several mobile middleware and semantic web related APIs and prototypes, coding mainly in Java, C and Perl.
