A Cheshire Cat
“We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
— Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
My Portrait

Well met, traveller! I’m Kurt Böhm, a PhD student and research assistant at TU Clausthal’s Institute of Mathematics in the Scientific Computing research group led by Olaf Ippisch with a Master’s degree in Computer Science.

I’m a programmer, computer scientist and tinkerer at heart with a wide range of interests, including high-performance computing, computer graphics (especially image processing), and mathematical optimization. Some projects I have worked on are listed under Projects and available on GitHub, and I plan on making some additional projects public in the near future.

My research focuses on Lineal, an efficient parallel linear algebra library written in modern C++, and C++ libraries connected to it (such as Θησαυρός and Grex). A preprint of our first article on Lineal is available on Research Square. Like my other publicly available projects, Lineal and the libraries connected to it are available on GitHub.
