This is the homepage of the independent junior research group "Exploring the landscape of string theory flux vacua using exceptional field theory". 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.

This research group is funded by the Emmy Noether Programme of the DFG (Germany Research Foundation) from 2020 - 2026. We also receive funding by the Einstein Foundation Berlin, the Research Training Group Rethinking Quantum Field Theory, the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) and the DAAD. We are affiliated with the Quantum Field and String Theory Group at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and are a member of IRIS Adlershof and the Interdisciplinary Center for Research in Mathematical Physics, Berlin.
