Portrait of Gabriel Heinrichs, summer 2020

About me

I study measurement and decision-making by small groups, especially if these groups comprise experts/peers representing diverse stakeholder perspectives. I approach this context primarily from philosophy of measurement and judgment aggregation theory.

In my current research project, I focus on the decision-making processes of Dutch accreditation panels, which are multi-stakeholder peer review panels that measure the quality of Dutch higher education. More details on the research page.

I’m a PhD candidate at Avans UAS 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 in higher education since 2005. Currently I’m a tutor and quality assurance advisor for Avans’ MA Animation and MA Fine Art & Design programmes. Before 2021, I taught at other media/design programmes. Before then (2000-2005), I worked as a freelance media designer and music writer/editor. 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.
