Evan Williams
Incoming ECE PhD Student @ CMU
Pittsburgh, PA
Hello! I’m Evan and I’m an incoming ECE PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University starting Fall 2026. Broadly, my research interests lie in hardware/software co-design at the intersection of compilers, computer architecture, and programming languages.
Previously, I spent two years as a software developer at AWS working on AWS HealthOmics. I graduated from Cornell in 2024 with an MEng in CS and a BS in CS and ECE, where I worked with Adrian Sampson on compilers for hardware accelerators.
I’m always happy to chat! Feel free to reach out at evanwilliams@cmu.edu.
