Thippa Reddy Gadekallu

Also known as G Thippa Reddy, G. Thippa Reddy, Gadekallu Reddy, Gadekallu Thippa Reddy

Thippa Reddy Gadekallu is a researcher whose AI work connects machine learning with blockchain security, crop-disease classification and connected health. He earned computer science and engineering degrees at Nagarjuna University in 2003 and Anna University in 2011, then completed a Ph.D. at Vellore Institute of Technology in 2017. His research includes blockchain protection for IoT health data, a survey of blockchain in the metaverse, CNN-SVM classification of paddy disease and a remote patient-monitoring framework. Elsevier included him among the world's top 2% of scientists in 2021, and Clarivate named him a Highly Cited Researcher in its Young Scientist category in 2023; he joined Scientific Reports' editorial board in 2022 and was an Associate Professor at VIT's School of Information Technology and Engineering by 2024. In September 2026, he delivered an IHCONCS keynote on blockchain's impact on key-enabling technologies for the metaverse; as of October 2026, he is a Professor at Zhejiang A&F University and Chief Engineer at Zhongda Group in China.

From the biography and OpenAlex affiliations (the years of papers that list the organization), so some years are approximate.

  1. 5 of the 25 people with the most-cited recent papers also lead on career citationsIncludes Thippa Reddy Gadekallu. We compare citations to 2023–2025 papers with career citations and h-index, after correcting reviewed publication-date errors: who leads, when they started and where they work.
  2. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes Vellore Institute of Technology University. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
  3. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Chitkara University. 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.
  4. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
