PLENARY SPEAKERS

Clyo Duran

Testing Engineer at Synopsys Mexico.

BIOGRAPHY

Clyo is a Design for Testing Engineer at Synopsys Mexico. She was the first female president of the Electronic Engineering Student Society at ITESO University leading and promoting their projects and university experience. She participated in the "Beautiful Patterns" open-source project, aimed at increasing female representation in engineering, where she taught programming to high school students.
In 2019, Clyo won the NXP Challenge at Talent Land Mexico, where she and her team presented an embedded light measurement system using various communication protocols so the user could monitor their power consumption.
Clyo started her career as an intern in FirstPass Global (acquired by Synopsys) where she discovered Design for Testing, and later joined the company as a full-time engineer. Over the past three years, she has been involved in challenging projects with international clients from well-known brands. She has participated as DFT engineer in high performance SoCs design used in GPUs and automotive chips with cutting edge technologies.   Although the projects can be difficult, she finds a way to stay positive and get the job done. In her free time, she likes to watch good or bad movies at the cinema, swim, and attend concerts. She loves animals, particularly her cats, and spends her time playing and fighting with them.

Isabela Buitrón Burbano

Universidad de los Andes

BIOGRAPHY

Isabela has recently obtained her electronics engineering degree from Universidad de los Andes and has been appointed as the 2023 Women In Engineering (WIE) representative for the IEEE Council on RFID.
Curiously, her engineering path started upon participating in Model United Nations debate competitions. Upon winning NHSMUN held in New York, 2017 she realized
education in engineering and technology would allow her to present practical solutions to critical issues from today’s society.
In 2022 her team won 1st place at ActInSpace (Bogotá Edition) a world-wide innovation contest organized by the French Space Agency. Simultaneously, teams from over 100 cities across 5 continents come together for 24 hours to work on real-life challenges to imagine and design innovative services and products that find every day uses for space technologies or data. She was elected as Universidad de los Andes’ IEEE Student Branch Chair in 2022.
During this period, IEEE Uniandes obtained 2 International (IEEE R9) and 2 national awards recognizing student engagement growth and quality of technical and professional development events organization. She has also served as ambassador for the IEEEXtreme Programming Competition.
Isabela worked on the Integrated Microwave Packaging Antennas and Circuits Technology (IMPACT) lab as part of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology’s (KAUST) Microelectronics Winter Camp (MEWC) in Saudi Arabia. Her project titled: Achieving Electromagnetic Shielding with Optically Transparent Conformal Printed Electronics obtained 2nd place at the e-poster competition of the MEWC 2023. Isabela coauthored a paper presented on the 23rd annual IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference, WAMICON 2023, held in Melbourne, Florida, obtaining 2nd place at the Student Research Poster Competition.
Isabela believes engaging in fruitful academic activities allows students to enhance their skills and find people with similar interests who will help them grow personally and professionally. Her advice to young professionals is to not be afraid to take chances early on in their careers, at this point it’s about the quality of your years of experience rather than their amount.
