DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andreas  Schachner (Cornell University)\nString theo
 ry provides our most developed framework for unifying quantum mechanics an
 d gravity\, but connecting it to the physics of our Universe requires a de
 tailed understanding of how ten-dimensional geometry gives rise to four-di
 mensional cosmology. In this talk\, I will discuss recent progress toward 
 this goal using a combination of new analytic techniques and large-scale c
 omputational tools. I will highlight our recent construction of explicit c
 andidate de Sitter solutions\, as well as new mechanisms for generating hi
 erarchies of scales. \n\nBio:\nAndreas Schachner is a postdoctoral resear
 cher in theoretical physics at Cornell University. He obtained his PhD fro
 m the University of Cambridge\, working with Fernando Quevedo\, after stud
 ying physics in Heidelberg and mathematics at Cambridge. His research focu
 ses on string phenomenology and string compactifications\, in particular f
 lux vacua\, moduli stabilisation\, axions\, and quantum corrections\, as w
 ell as the development of computational and machine learning methods for e
 xploring the string landscape.\nhttps://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/30445/
