Abstract


Our group recently succeeded in constructing a string theory compactification that only has the MSSM matter content. I am going to give an overview over our construction and show how we evade anti-families and exotic particles that often plague string theory phenomenology. My talk will be as self-contained as possible and does not assume prior knowledge of string theory.
