Hi, I’m Gabriel, and I do a bunch of stuff -see below- but chances are that you are here for my research into decision-making by Dutch accreditation panels. These are groups of experts/peers that periodically assess Dutch higher education programmes. I study their decision-making process from a philosophy of science perspective, and by talking to panellists about their experiences. My study is funded by an NWO doctoral grant and supported by several other organisations; more details on the research page.

Before my current research job, I mainly taught (game/media) design. Before then I trained & worked as a designer and as a music writer/editor. For more work-related information you can peruse my cv.

Some personal stuff I care about: first off, I’m nuts about music: listening to it, and playing it myself. I mostly sing and play guitar nowadays, but I also like to play saxophone, drums, piano and trumpet sometimes. I’m an avid reader, aeropresser of coffee, plant eater, biker, gamer, cinephile, and purveyor of dad jokes for two wonderful sons. I’m a Linux fan, and supporter of libre/open source software, open science, and better public transport. I wholeheartedly root for climate action and social justice. Friends and allies call me Gabri, pronounced /’χabri/. Drop me a line through Mastodon or e-mail if you would like to get in touch!
