‘The hidden hero of AI: Why SRAM matters’

AI is pushing chips to their limits, and the era of monolithic designs is giving way to chiplets…But at the centre of this shift lies the memory wall.

Could SRAM – the often-overlooked workhorse of semiconductors – be the hidden hero that helps unlock the next wave of AI innovation?

Catriona Wright

Catriona Wright began her career as a Digital ASIC designer at Nortel Networks after graduating with an MEng from Edinburgh University. Over the past few decades, she has worked across start-ups, scale-ups, and large companies in the semiconductor industry, successfully delivering projects from concept through to production.

Early in her career, she transitioned from hands-on design to project management, taking on her first Programme Manager role at CamSemi.

With extensive experience leading complex semiconductor programmes, Catriona has always focused on enabling innovation – building world-class teams and systematically removing barriers to delivery.

She is now co-founder of Chipletti, a fabless semiconductor start-up developing advanced 3D chiplet and memory integration technologies to unlock new levels of performance, cost efficiency, and power optimisation for AI and high-performance computing. At Chipletti, she leads operations, driving the company’s mission to deliver cutting-edge technology with real-world impact.
