Description

String theory contains many of the generic features required for particle physics. Establishing the detailed connection between string theory and particle physics, however, is not straightforward and I will discuss some of the successes and problems in this area. In particular, I will describe some recent progress in constructing the standard model of particle physics from heterotic string theory.
