Nominator's project description

Professor Cvetic is an outstanding expert in issues relating to string theory and the consequences for fundamental particle physics. She has made important contributions to the field of phenomenology, which transfers theoretical calculations onto experimental particle physics. During her stay in Germany Professor Cvetic will work on problems in string theory and quantum gravity, in particular on the topic of supersymmetry breaking.
