Dr. Neelima Gurrapu is an Assistant Professor at SR University and serves as Associate Dean, Student Welfare (Hostels). She joined SR University in June 2023 and previously served in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Vaagdevi College of Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Nagaland in 2026, M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from JNTU Hyderabad in 2013, MCA from Kakatiya University in 2008, and B.Sc. from Kakatiya University in 2004.

Her research focuses on multimodal rumor detection, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, sentiment analysis and computer vision. Her doctoral work developed a hybrid machine learning and deep learning framework that combines textual, visual and social-media features for rumor detection. She teaches Design and Analysis of Algorithms and supervises doctoral research at SR University.

Her academic activities include conducting CSI AI 100K workshops (November 2025 and January 2026), Unlock AI with Google Gemini Pro (September 2025), a technical quiz on core programming concepts (September 2025), and Code Quest (October 2025). She has participated in faculty development programmes on DevOps, explainable AI, text and image analysis, NLP and large language models, quantum technology, 6G wireless communication, and web application security. She received the CSI Hyderabad Chapter Best Student Branch Counselor award in 2026 and the Technical Activities Supporter – Student Branch award in 2025.
