Victoria Camilieri-Asch is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia. Her work focuses on neurobiology and marine conservation, particularly in understanding olfactory systems in fish and mitigating human-shark conflicts. She contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to life below water and sustainable development.

Her research interests include olfactory bulb anatomy in cartilaginous and bony fish, shark behavior, and ecological impacts of oil and gas decommissioning. She employs techniques like acoustic telemetry and computed tomography in her studies.

Recent publications highlight her work on fisher-shark conflict management, pelagic fish connectivity, and neuroanatomical studies. She has collaborated on projects funded by Parks Australia, aiming to promote safe human-shark interactions at Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
