San Francisco, Ireland — November 8th 2026 — yieldHUB, the semiconductor yield management platform, today announced that Shravya Shree Gali, Senior Data Scientist, has been shortlisted for Young AI Role Model of the Year at the AI Awards 2026. The award recognises early-career professionals who are shaping how AI is applied in industry and inspiring the next generation of talent.
Gali, 28, joined yieldHUB as a Graduate Data Scientist in March 2024 and was promoted to Senior Data Scientist in March 2026. She now plays a key role in the company's data science function, managing the team, supporting its intern programme and helping drive the adoption of AI and advanced statistics across the business.
She represented yieldHUB at the International Test Conference 2024 in San Diego and co-authored a paper with a customer on the project she delivered for them.
Gali's advice to women entering data science and AI, shared in a yieldHUB interview for International Women in AI Day, is not to wait for certainty before speaking up.
"Put your thoughts and ideas out there. People might challenge them, and that's okay. If you're wrong, you've learned something. If you're right, you've gained confidence and can move things forward. Either way, you've got more information than you had before," said Shravya Shree Gali, Senior Data Scientist at yieldHUB. "You don't have to understand everything 100% before you speak. Nobody knows everything."
On representation at semiconductor industry conferences, where technical spaces remain male-dominated, she is optimistic: "The women I've met in these spaces have been incredibly smart and technically strong, and seeing more women coming into these roles has been really encouraging."
She is equally clear-eyed about AI in manufacturing. "The data we're working with isn't just data. There's a whole process and a whole set of people behind it," she said. "If everything could be fixed with AI, there would probably be something important being overlooked."
