Sreedurga Gogulapati

Also known as Gogulapati Sreedurga

Sreedurga Gogulapati is an AI researcher who studies fairness in public budgeting through computational social choice, algorithms, and game theory. She earned a gold-medal computer science degree at IIIT Jabalpur, completed a direct PhD at IISc, and won a poster award in 2019. Her work introduced group-fair budgeting rules, developed a hybrid budget model, and examined probabilistic assignment and proportionality; IISc commended her thesis in 2025. Since November 2025, she is an assistant professor in IIT Hyderabad's Department of Artificial Intelligence, researching multi-agent systems with social choice and game theory.

Timeline

  1. 2014–2023

    A gold-medal degree and PhD

    She earns a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Jabalpur, with a gold medal in 2018. In August 2018, she begins a direct PhD in IISc's Department of Computer Science and Automation and works in the Game Theory Lab under Prof. Y. Narahari. She graduates in 2023 after submitting Exploring Welfare Maximization and Fairness in Participatory Budgeting in July 2023 and defending the thesis in December 2023.

  2. 2019

    Best poster at IITGN

    In 2019, she wins the Best Poster Award at the ACM Summer School on Algorithmic Game Theory at IITGN.

  3. 2022–2023

    Maxmin and group-fair budgeting

    In July 2022, she coauthors Maxmin Participatory Budgeting with Mayank Ratan Bhardwaj and Yadati Narahari, a computational and axiomatic study of an egalitarian rule for indivisible projects. The paper gives algorithms and additive approximation guarantees for restricted cases and reports exact optimal solutions on real-world datasets. In 2023, she and coauthors introduce two group-fairness notions for divisible participatory budgeting with single-peaked preferences, characterize group-fair rules, and give families computable in polynomial time.

  4. September 2022–June 2023

    Research internships in Amsterdam and Warwick

    From September to November 2022, she is a research intern at the University of Amsterdam. From January to June 2023, she is a research intern at the University of Warwick.

  5. November 2023–November 2025

    DeepMind Academic Fellow

    She joins the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics as a DeepMind Academic Fellow in November 2023 and completes the fellowship in November 2025.

  6. 2024

    A hybrid budgeting model

    In 2024, she proposes a hybrid participatory-budgeting model that includes divisible and indivisible projects and other social-choice variants as special cases. She develops objectives and algorithms for the model.

  7. 2025

    A thesis commendation and TTC result

    In June 2025, IISc's Department of Computer Science and Automation selects her PhD thesis for a Commendation Certificate for the 2023–24 academic year. In July 2025, she coauthors On Probabilistic Assignment Rules with Yadati Narahari, Souvik Roy, and Soumyarup Sadhukhan. The paper studies agents with initial endowments and strict preferences over all objects and shows that, under deterministic endowments, SD-efficiency, SD-individual rationality, and SD-top-strategy-proofness characterize the Top Trading Cycles rule.

  8. Since November 2025

    Assistant professor at IIT Hyderabad

    She joins IIT Hyderabad's Department of Artificial Intelligence as an assistant professor in November 2025. In March 2026, she coauthors Proportionality Degree in Participatory Budgeting with Aris Filos-Ratsikas and Georgios Kalantzis; the paper derives tight bounds on proportionality for the Method of Equal Shares and Phragmén's Sequential Rule. She researches social choice theory, algorithms, game theory, and multi-agent systems.

From the biography.

  1. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. We estimate where the people shaping AI worked when their most-cited papers appeared: the company share was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974, and Google led all organizations in 2020–2024.
  2. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other universityIncludes Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other university. We compare doctorate and 5+ year employment links, career timing and current workplaces for 187 major-prize and 1,111 best-paper winners.
  3. Universities had a net outflow of 2,068 moves in AI careersIncludes University of Edinburgh. Our estimates of career flows and median h-index across universities and companies in AI, including the role of joint appointments and earlier academic jobs.
  4. People shaping AI work at a median of 3 organizations over a career: 3 for university starters and institute and lab starters, versus 2 for company startersIncludes University of Edinburgh. Across 6,853 people shaping AI with a dated work role, we estimate a median of 3 parent organizations over a career (mean 3.6), comparing role groups, starting sectors and starting decades from the 1950s to 2020–2026.
