Evan Williams
Incoming ECE PhD Student @ CMU
Pittsburgh, PA
Hello! I’m Evan and I’m an ECE PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University. I’m fortunate to be supported by the NSF CSGrad4US Fellowship. 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.
