Giorgi is a visiting professor at Ilia State University and has been interested in animals since childhood, especially insects, spiders, reptiles and amphibians, because he was afraid of them and wanted to learn about them to overcome his fear.
Since then, his studies have included bachelor’s degree work on radio telemetry modelling of Goitered Gazelles, and a master’s degree on the distribution of snakes in his home-country of Georgia. He was also involved with actions for the Eastern Imperial Eagle in Kakheti Region, Georgia.
More recently he was the main coordinator of the Georgian Red List in determining the conservation status of reptiles and amphibians and coordinator of the project ‘isolation by distance vs taxonomy: the analysis of Georgia’s herpetofauna (2023-2026)’.
