If you’re into beautiful graphs and rigorous science, check out Ruben’s new position at Uni Witten/Herdecke. I’ve worked with him for over a decade, and it’s been an inspiring, supportive collaboration throughout.
Want to make nice graphs with me, starting next year? I'm hiring for a position at the University of Witten/Herdecke.

If you are interested in beautiful graphs, fun science projects and the best phd supervisor, reach out to Ruben. One phd project focuses on LLMs and defragmenting psychology, the other phd project just has to fit in Ruben’s interests (which is not very hard😊).
