About

Photo of Natalie Clarius

I am a master's student and software developer.

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

My main interests are in

  • the computational implementation of logical formalisms, in particular at the intersection between the tableau calculus, modal logic and type theory,
  • teaching methodology in mathematics and computer science,
  • automation of routine processes, with a focus on administrative tasks in academia, and
  • workflow improvements in desktop Linux, my specialty being hardware interfaces, 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.

I am available for contract work. If you are interested in my software development or tutoring, don't hesitate to get in touch.
