Mark and Carolyn Guidry Women in Engineering Program Fund
Carolyn Guidry (1937-2009) was born in Mississippi and spent her childhood in the Deep South. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Louisiana State University in 1959. One week after graduation, she married Mark Guidry (1937-2020), a fellow electrical engineering major she met at LSU. Carolyn began her career at Boeing, but soon put her career on hold and devoted 20 years to raising their three children. She returned to school and earned her Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from SJSU in 1979. She joined Hewlett-Packard and was directly responsible for the development of a new flexible interconnect cable and the microcode for a new computer.
In partnership with Mark, Carolyn founded two successful companies in semiconductor design software and semiconductor product development. Both companies were later acquired and became leaders in their respective fields. After the second company was acquired by Integrated Circuit Systems in 1993, she founded the Mark and Carolyn Guidry Foundation and managed all aspects of the organization. She received an Award of Distinction from SJSU Davidson College of Engineering in 2006. Both she and Mark were inducted into the LSU College of Engineering Hall of Distinction in 2001.
Mark was a Louisiana native. After receiving his BSEE from LSU, he took a position at Boeing. He subsequently earned an MSEE from University of Washington and a Ph.D. from Iowa State University. He taught at LSU, where he conducted research in semiconductor technology, laser technology and radio wave propagation. Prior to founding their companies, Mark worked at Fairchild Semiconductor in Palo Alto, a small San Diego company and Texas Instruments in Houston.
All three of Carolyn and Mark’s children graduated with degrees in engineering. The Guidry family strongly believes in the power of education and the importance of developing engineering education in the U.S. for what lies ahead. The Mark and Carolyn Guidry Foundation has been a long-time leader in supporting women in engineering at SJSU. Its commitment and on-going support have made the Silicon Valley Women in Engineering program a model of success for educating new woman innovators regionally and nationally.

IBM
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Creating AI models for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks remains a daunting task for many, requiring significant technical expertise, efforts, and resources. In this demonstration, we provide an overview of Watson Discovery – a low code AI-powered text-analytic platform & showcase its Pattern Induction feature – a human-in-the-loop text extraction system that lowers the barrier of entry to AI by allowing line-of-business users to quickly generate high-performance information extraction models. Through Pattern Induction, line-of-business users can quickly extract entities that follow common semantic or syntactic patterns from business documents without the need to provide pre-labeled data or write code.
Accelerated Discovery – how to speed up material design
It can take over 10 years to design new materials. At IBM Research, we’re looking to accelerate the discovery process using new AI methods, robotics, the hybrid cloud, and quantum computers. Our goal is to unlock new properties and materials to address global challenges in sustainability, health and computing.
