Eric You is an interdisciplinary undergraduate researcher at the University of Chicago studying Physics and Economics with nine years of hands-on experience bridging experimental materials, particle-physics simulations, and software engineering. He has contributed to textile innovation by developing porous membrane coatings that achieve 94% reflectivity and sub-ambient cooling, while also implementing quantized ML and HLS algorithms to improve particle-track discrimination for future muon colliders. Eric pairs practical backend development—building a Django-Vue MES/ERP for a 50+ employee firm—with lab-scale quality control and lifecycle economic analysis at national labs, showing a rare blend of coding, manufacturing, and research skills. Based in Chicago, he’s comfortable moving between SEM imaging, on-chip algorithm testing, and supply-chain systems, and he’s actively exploring single-fiber coating methods to improve garment durability in collaboration with industry partners.
