Gavin Taylor
Bio
Updated 03/22/26Gavin J. Taylor is a researcher affiliated with the Institute for Globally Distributed Open Research and Education (IGDORE), based in São Carlos, Brazil. He studied at the University of Queensland and consults for Resonant Health Inc., a company developing a medical device using low-dose microwaves for antiviral applications. His research focuses on physical virology, microwave viral inactivation, optical simulations, and Micro-CT imaging. In 2020, he received a $30,000 grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to conduct a computational study on using a light-to-vibrations (L2V) mechanism as a targeted antiviral, with the aim of identifying viruses susceptible to inactivation via resonant vibrational frequencies. He has published peer-reviewed work including a 2024 paper in Applied Physics Reviews on virus inactivation by matching vibrational resonance, and a 2023 comment in Viruses correcting mathematical errors in SARS-CoV-2 microwave inactivation research. His work is recognized as providing a mathematical model for predicting microwave frequencies effective for viral inactivation.
