Portrait of Gabriel Heinrichs, summer 2020

About me

I’m a philosopher of science and media designer, currently working on a research project concerning measurement and decision-making by small groups. As a case study, I focus on the decision-making processes of Dutch higher education accreditation panels. More details on the research page

I’m a PhD candidate at Avans and the University of Groningen. My research project is supported by an NWO doctoral grant and is part of SCOOP. My doctoral advisors are professors Jan-Willem Romeijn and Rafael Wittek.

I’ve worked/taught in higher education since 2005. Currently I’m a tutor and quality assurance advisor for Avans’ MA Animation and MA Fine Art & Design programmes. Previously, I taught at other media/design programmes (2005-2021), and worked as a freelance media designer and music writer/editor (2000-2005). I hold MAs in Multimedia Design (HKU) and Philosophy (Tilburg University). More details on my cv.

After hours, I’m a tree hugger, bike rider, campfire singer, plant eater, book reader, moviegoer, aeropresser of coffee, avid music fan, and dad of two wonderful kids. Friends call me Gabri, pronounced /’χabri/ (IPA). Send me an e-mail if you’d like to get in touch.
