Research
String theory
My research is principally on flux compactifications in string theory (see my review article), in particular :
- solutions with fluxes
- four-dimensional low energy effective theories
- moduli fixing
- geometry of internal manifolds / generalized geometry / double field theory
String theory at IPhT
String theory in greater Paris region
