We consider a possible scenario for the generation of Dirac neutrino massesmotivated by Type I string theory. The smallness of the neutrino Yukawacouplings is explained by an anisotropic compactification with onecompactification radius larger than the others. In addition to this we utilisesmall Yukawa couplings to develop strong links between the origin of neutrinomasses and the physics driving inflation. We construct a minimal model whichsimultaneously accommodates small Dirac neutrino masses leading to bi-largelepton mixing as well as an inflationary solution to the strong CP and to the$\mu$ problem.Comment: 24 pages, 3 figures, typos corrected, reference added to section
