DrBipasha Kashyap

I am a Lecturer in Mechatronics Engineering at Deakin University and Deputy Director of the NSBE Research Lab. My work spans artificial intelligence, biomedical speech processing and clinical translation, with a focus on clinically useful technologies for neurological speech and movement disorders.

I began my career as a software engineer in industry, developing telecommunications billing software in a globally distributed team. I later worked as a hardware engineer at the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) before moving into biomedical engineering. As Lead ML Scientist (postdoctoral researcher) at Deakin, I led a team of five ML engineers, contributing to medical-grade assistive technologies, cloud-based machine-learning deployment pipelines and the BioKin AIMs speech and movement assessment system through a Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Biomedical Translation Bridge (BTB) Program project.
I completed my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Deakin in 2021 as a CSIRO Data61 scholar. My laboratory's speech-processing methods are embedded in the BioKin AIMs medical-grade assessment devices, now used across 26 clinics on four continents by more than 1,000 patients within the UNIFAI clinical consortium.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK, and recipient of the veski Inspiring Women Victorian Fellowship, and my teaching has been recognised with the 2026 Faculty of SEBE Teaching Excellence Award. My collaborators include leading universities, hospitals, research institutes and industry partners across Australia, Europe, Japan, Israel and the USA.
