Description
This talk is meant as a thank-you for the role and influence that Dimitri played in advancing my physics career. (In particular, the MSSSM papers we produced earned me my faculty position at Baylor University.) After briefly summarizing our MSSSM papers (and the NAHE class of free fermionic heterotic models upon which it was constructed), I briefly review some of the free fermionic NAHE-based and NAHE-extension models my research group explored at Baylor, including our string landscape studies. The dissertation research of ten of my graduate students was based on related research. I also recap how free fermionic landscape model research inspired one my students to start a high-tech business.
