Portrait of Gabriel Heinrichs, summer 2020

I’m a researcher, currently working on a project concerning decision-making by peer review panels. In my research, I combine philosophy of science with qualitative fieldwork and some historical work. Dutch higher education accreditation panels are my primary case study. More details on the research page.

I’m a PhD candidate at Avans and the University of Groningen and my project is part of SCOOP. My doctoral advisors are Jan-Willem Romeijn and Rafael Wittek.

I’ve worked/taught in higher education since 2005. Currently I’m a tutor and quality assurance coordinator at Avans for the 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, supporter of free & open source software, avid music fan, and dad of two wonderful kids. Friends call me Gabri, pronounced /’χabri/ (IPA). Drop me a line through Mastodon or e-mail if you’d like to get in touch.
