Two faculty have been recognised in the Singapore 100 Women in Tech (SG100WIT) 2025 list, unveiled at the Tech3 Forum 2025 by Minister Josephine Teo. Organised by the Singapore Computer Society (SCS) and supported by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the SG100WIT initiative celebrates women who are driving innovation, leading transformative projects, and shaping Singapore’s digital future.
Professor Dipti Srinivasan, Provost’s Chair Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Green Energy Management & Smart Grid (GEMS) Research Centre, is internationally recognised for her work on smart grids, renewable energy integration, and computational intelligence methods.
Honoured to be named in the SG100WIT 2025 list, Prof Srinivasan added, "This recognition affirms the value of applying AI and computing innovations to create smarter, more sustainable energy systems, and it reflects the collective efforts of her students and collaborators."
To young women considering careers in engineering and AI, she said, “Be bold, keep learning, and believe in your ability to solve meaningful problems. Your ideas can drive the technologies that will shape a better, more sustainable future.”
Professor Yang Hui Ying (Materials Science and Engineering) is a global leader in nanomaterials research, with a focus on energy storage and water treatment technologies.
She described the award as more than personal recognition, calling it a celebration of women scientists, engineers, and technology leaders. As a scientist and educator, she is committed to creating pathways that empower the next generation to pursue STEM with confidence, fostering communities that mentor and uplift one another, and applying technology to solve real-world challenges with empathy and purpose.
Looking ahead, Prof Yang said she hopes to contribute further to the energy research community, inspire students, and help shape a future where diversity is the driving force behind innovation. To aspiring young women in STEM, her advice was clear: “Your curiosity is your greatest superpower. Whether you’re building with LEGOs, gazing at the stars, or designing your first video game, that spark of wonder is what drives the world’s greatest discoveries. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be an engineer, scientist, or programmer. Keep asking questions, keep building, and never stop learning. Seek out mentors, connect with others who share your passion, and know that every expert began as a beginner. The future of science and technology is waiting for you — and it needs your unique light to shine.”
Their recognition on the SG100WIT 2025 list underscores their role as role models whose achievements and journeys will inspire more girls and women to pursue technology, in line with the initiative’s goal to grow the next generation of female leaders in STEM.
