    Keywords: During his postdoctoral training, Dr. Manandhar specialized in treatment planning optimization and multi-institutional patient data analysis in radiation oncology. His work involved replacing conventional brachytherapy applicators with IMBT-driven Direction Modulated Brachytherapy (DMBT) applicators developed in collaboration with Varian Medical Systems. The primary objective of this research is to improve dose coverage to High-Risk Clinical Target Volume(HRCTV) and lower dose to Organs at Risks(OARs).
