Hi, I'm Darius!

I am a PhD Candidate in Intelligent Systems Engineering and Computer Science at Indiana University, advised by by Dr. Minje Kim. My research primarily focuses on audio and speech source separation and neural audio coding, with additional work in classification, automatic speech recognition (ASR), and generative models. I have published my work at journal and venues such as IEEE Transactions, ICASSP, WASPAA, and ISMIR, and was honored to receive a best paper award for our research on hyperbolic audio embeddings. Additionally, I hold multiple U.S. patents.

Previously, I worked as a full-time engineer for the Apple Music Apps Team (Logic Pro, GarageBand) and conducted research at:
