DR RELAXO
FFC-NMR consultancy service
Who we are
​
Prof. David Faux is an academic in the Department of Physics at the University of Surrey, he stands as a luminary in the realm of FFC NMR data analysis. Holding a PhD in Physics from Birmingham University, UK, in 1986, Prof. Faux's academic journey has been marked by pioneering research publications, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge. With more than 30 years of dedicated research in theoretical physics, Prof. Faux's contributions have shaped the very landscape of the field. His insights have not only advanced scientific understanding but have also paved the way for innovative applications and models across porous media. As a co-founder and driving force behind DR Relaxo, Prof. David Faux brings his wealth of knowledge to the forefront. His guidance and strategic direction ensure that our solutions are rooted in cutting-edge research and uphold the highest standards of accuracy and rigor. Prof. Faux's thought influence is not confined to academia alone. Through keynote speeches, workshops, and industry collaborations, he actively contributes to the global discourse on FFC NMR data analysis, inspiring researchers and practitioners alike.

Dr. Rémi Kogon is a visiting researcher at the University of Surrey. Armed with a PhD in Physics from Bologna University, Italy, in 2021, funded by a EU Horizon 2020 Marie-Curie ITN grant, he created after his PhD the interface allowing the global FFC NMR community access to the fitting and interpretative package for the first time by implementing the 3-Tau Model designed, developed and tested by Prof. David Faux. As a co-founder and luminary presence at DR Relaxo, Dr. Rémi Kogon shapes our company's trajectory. His visionary management ensures that our solutions are rooted in pioneering research and uphold the highest standards of precision and integrity.

The origin of the 3-Tau Model
The 3-Tau Model was conceived and developed during two successive EU Horizon 2020 Marie-Curie ITN grant awards on cement and concrete (TRANSCEND and ERICA). The projects funded fundamental research with the objective of reducing the CO2 footprint of the cement cycle (currently the 3rd largest global contributor). While previous models for interpreting field-dependent NMR experiments were limited, this model transforms complexity into coherence, allowing us to grasp the intricacies of data landscapes and comprehend the bigger picture with clarity
