Abstract: |
This year's String Phenomenology Conference will take place at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, from Wednesday, May 28 to Sunday, June 1, 2008. Phenomenological aspects of String Theory have moved to the forefront of research efforts in the theoretical high energy physics community. This conference aims at bringing together top researchers in the field to present and discuss recent breakthroughs bridging fundamental theory and its implications for particle physics and cosmology. A special emphasis will be placed on innovative mathematical techniques, and an effort will be made to include a number of leading mathematicians and mathematical physicists. We are particularly keen to encourage young researchers, and will attempt to feature their work prominently in this conference. |
