Prof. Jogesh Pati  has life-long contributions to theoretical elementary particle physics, and in particular his pioneering contributions towards the notion of a unification of fundamental particles - quarks and leptons - and of their gauge forces: weak, electromagnetic and strong. His formulation, carried out in collaboration with Abdus Salam, of the original gauge theory of quark-lepton unification, and their resulting insight that violations of baryon and lepton numbers, especially that would manifest in proton decay, are likely consequences of such a unification, provide corner stones of modern particle physics today. The suggestions of Pati and Salam of the symmetry of SU(4)-color, left-right symmetry and of the associated existence of the right-handed neutrinos now provide some of the crucial ingredients for understanding the observed masses of the neutrinos and their oscillations. For his pioneering contributions towards a "Quest for Unification", he received the Dirac Medal for the year 2000 (with Howard Georgi and Helen Quinn).

Jogesh Pati - Wikipedia
Jogesh C. Pati (born 1937) is a physicist at the University of Maryland, College Park, the joint recipient of the 2000 Dirac Medal.
Pati has made pioneering contributions to the notion of a unification of elementary particles – quarks and leptons – and of their gauge forces force: weak, electromagnetic, and strong.
The suggestions of Pati and Salam of the symmetry of SU(4)–color, left–right symmetry, and of the associated existence of right-handed neutrinos, now provide some of the crucial ingredients for understanding the observed masses of the neutrinos and their oscillations.
