Extra Dimensions in String Cosmology and Phenomenology — •Marco Zagermann — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Appelstraße 2, 30167 Hannover, Germany

I discuss some of the phenomenologically relevant aspects associated with the presence of extra dimensions in string theory, in particular in the context of cosmological applications. This includes a discussion of the moduli fields of string compactifications as well as the modeling of dark energy and early universe inflation.
