I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. My primary research focuses on radiation physics, radiopharmaceutical dosimetry, and Monte Carlo simulations. I specialize in Monte Carlo simulations to address radiation physics challenges, encompassing dosimetry and radiation biology. A distinguishing aspect of my research is the tight-knit collaborations with experts in radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry, molecular imaging, and radiation transport simulations.

My doctoral thesis (download) encompassed radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry and quantitative imaging in nuclear medicine. Specifically, I delved into two key areas: (1) dosimetry of β- and α-emitting radionuclides and (2) Monte Carlo simulation of PET scanner, bolstered by subsequent validation.

Short Bio:

I originate from the charming northwestern region of Gorkha, Nepal, where I cherished my formative years. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Tribhuvan University in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Subsequently, I did my second master’s at the University of South Dakota (2017) and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Iowa (2022).

On a personal note, I find solace in cycling and relish the serenity of natural surroundings. My literary interests span both fiction and non-fiction genres. I also enjoy various gaming formats, such as Carrom board, cards, and culinary arts.
