This is the homepage of the independent junior research group "Exploring the landscape of string theory flux vacua using exceptional field theory". This research group is funded by the Emmy Noether Programme of the DFG (Germany Research Foundation) from 2020 - 2026. We are affiliated with the Quantum Field and String Theory Group at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
The goal of this research group is to better understand string theory compactifications containing fluxes, so-called flux vacua, and their role in phenomenological models and holographic applications of string theory.
