Dr. Hein Duijf

Hein obtained his PhD in Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence from Utrecht University. During his PhD, he spent a semester visiting the London School of Economics. Prior to this, he obtained an MSc in mathematics with a specialization in logic and computational intelligence (RU Nijmegen and TU Vienna). Before coming to the LMU, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in ERC-funded research projects on the social epistemology of argumentation (VU Amsterdam) and responsible intelligent systems (Utrecht University). In October 2021, Hein joined the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at LMU Munich.

Research Interest

Hein's main research interests are in social epistemology and (collective) moral responsibility. In particular, he is interested in expertise, deliberation, and political epistemology, and in collective agency, machine ethics, and deontic reasoning.
