Dr George Olah is an Honorary Lecturer at the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society.
During his research career, Dr Olah has focused on tropical ecology, conservation genetics, and used cutting-edge next-generation sequencing technology to study modern and museum samples of birds for their conservation management.
His research has allowed him to advance knowledge about conservation genetics in the context of the interacting environmental and anthropogenic threats. In order to transform this generated scientific knowledge into conservation action, he believes it is essential to communicate with a broader audience via publicly accessible sources and directly with decision makers.
At the wider community level, Dr Olah is a very passionate science communicator and wildlife documentary filmmaker at Wildlife Messengers and the BBC Natural History Unit.
