Saki Khan

Saki Khan serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Macalester College, based in the Olin-Rice Science Center (Room 129). His contact details include telephone 651-696-6731 and email skhan6@macalester.edu.

Dr. Khan specializes in theoretical particle physics with core focus on Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), proposing that electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force manifest from a single unified interaction through higher gauge symmetries. His research addresses Standard Model conundrums like neutrino oscillations through phenomenological studies (e.g., nucleon decay) and cosmological investigations (e.g., topological defects), utilizing mathematical, theoretical, and computational methodologies. He actively develops dark matter models where dark matter and Standard Model particles unify under shared gauge symmetries.
