Chase Enlowsmith

I am a post-baccalaureate researcher holding Bachelor of Science degrees in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin. My research interests lie at the intersection of computational astrophysics and early-universe cosmology. I leverage accelerated computational tools and machine learning to probe the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. Parallel to my astrophysical research, I am deeply invested in foundational artificial intelligence, interpretable AI, and agentic workflows. I actively apply these methodologies to scientific machine learning, specifically focusing on Einstein-Boltzman code emulation and deriving analytic models for galaxy cluster mass bias.

I am also passionate about making theoretical physics accessible through open-source pedagogical software, most notably through the development of CMBverse, an interactive computational tool for physics education.

Looking forward, I aim to translate my computational frameworks toward more fundamental theoretical domains. I am highly interested in the architecture of foundational AI systems, as well as problems in high-energy theory, quantum field theory, and general relativity.

Outside of my research, I dedicate my energy to backpacking, trail running, skateboarding, and music.

Projects

Here are some of the projects I've worked on during my academic career.

CMBverse
June 2024 – Present · Austin, Texas

Built and deployed CMBverse, an interactive web tool for academics to explore CMB power spectra across a 6-parameter $\Lambda$CDM space in real time (TensorFlow.js, WASM backend). Developed the underlying end-to-end neural emulator of the CLASS Einstein Boltzmann solver (built on CONNECT/TensorFlow), achieving sub-percent accuracy over cosmologically relevant parameter space while accelerating spectrum evaluation by $\sim$4$\times$10$^{4}$ over direct Boltzmann integration.

GW Sonification Pipeline
Oct 2025 – Present · Austin, Texas

Developed an open-source, pip-installable Python package and command-line tool that transforms public LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data from GWOSC into accessible sonifications and visualizations for research and education. The tool implements data conditioning (whitening, bandpassing, gating via gwpy) and waveform regeneration from published parameter-estimation samples. Additionally, there is provided interactive documentation via Jupyter notebooks as a guide to the software usage and underlying physics driving the signal generation and processing.
