Dominik Klein

Dr. Dominik Klein is an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, part of the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University. His research focuses on social interaction and its implications, particularly in the domains of collective patterns, epistemic rationality, and decision-making quality. He works at the intersection of logic, social epistemology, and political theory, with additional contributions to philosophy of science and action.

Key research themes include agent-based social simulation, human-centered artificial intelligence, and institutions for open societies. He is affiliated with projects such as 'Simulations of Scientific Inquiry' (Bochum) and 'Coalition and Epistemic Logic' (Bayreuth/Prague). Klein teaches courses like 'Mathematics for AI' and actively contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations in social science modeling and formal epistemology.

His work spans theoretical explorations of trust dynamics, information cascades, and epistemic decision-making, leveraging formal methods to analyze societal challenges. Klein's publications reflect a blend of philosophical inquiry and computational modeling, addressing topics like non-classical probabilities, dynamic epistemic logic, and the epistemic quality of democratic processes.
