Vatche Sahakian

Vatche Sahakian is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Harvey Mudd College, focusing on theoretical physics at the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravity.

• String theory as a framework for quantum gravity
• Emergent spacetime and black hole dynamics
• Non-commutative geometry in high-energy physics
• Extensions of the Standard Model and cosmology

His research explores the quantum structure of spacetime, with publications such as Modern Classical Mechanics (2021) and studies on D0 brane dynamics (2012). Sahakian’s work bridges foundational theoretical physics with applications in cosmology and quantum gravity, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to unresolved questions in high-energy physics.
