About

Photo of Natalie Clarius

I am a master's student and software developer.

Currently I work as a hardware integrator for KDE while finishing my degree at University of Tübingen, Germany.

My main interests are in

  • the computational implementation of logical formalisms, in particular the tableau calculus and modal logic,
  • automation of routine processes, with a focus on administrative tasks in academic education, and
  • workflow improvements in desktop Linux, my specialty being window management and global search in the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

I have a passion and 12 semesters of experience in teaching logic, linguistics and programming.
