Pax was born in Houston, TX on November 29, 2010 and left us too soon on October 14, 2020.  He was an exceptionally gifted child who had a love of math and science.  Naturally charming, with great intellect and highly motivated, Pax educated himself on advanced subjects through which he discovered quantum physics.  His passions for this science lead to his goal of attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and becoming a quantum physicist.

 

In order to honor his memory, his genius, his creativeness, his determination, his compassion, his thoughtfulness, his sparkle, and his joyful spirit, the Pax el-Khouri Memorial Fund has been established at MIT.  The fund provides support for students and faculty in the Department of Physics doing work in the area of quantum physics with preference for support of Undergraduate Research Opportunities Projects.  Our goal to reach commitments of $100,000 by June 30, 2023 was met to establish a permanent endowed fund so that Pax's memory will live on forever.  We are so very thankful to have generous donors for their loving gifts.  Any and all donations are sincerely appreciated.
