DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of fermion mass hierarchies and CP vi
 olation remains a fundamental challenge in particle physics. Target-space 
 modular symmetries offer an elegant resolution by replacing intricate flav
 on sectors with geometric moduli\, elevating Yukawa couplings to modular f
 orms. In this talk\, I will review the bottom-up formulation and discuss i
 ts systematic extensions and rich phenomenological applications\, includin
 g near-critical flavor textures\, neutrino masses\, and the Strong CP prob
 lem. I will then trace their top-down origin in string theory through ecle
 ctic flavor symmetries\, which arise directly from the intrinsic geometric
  symmetries of the compact space and systematically unify traditional flav
 or and modular transformations. Finally\, I will briefly touch upon recent
  developments and open questions.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nhttps://unam.zoo
