Joshua is a recipient of the 2021 Excellence in Undergraduate Research Award from the Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates. He is participating in the ATLAS group’s Dark Matter / Dark Energy Search; the data is taken at either the LHC or Brookhaven National Laboratory.

This award recognized Mallik's faculty excellence in service both in the university and the high energy physics community.

An international scientific group led by the University of Iowa is trying to solve one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology: why the universe’s expansion is accelerating.

The world’s most sophisticated subatomic particle collider is getting an upgrade, and two University of Iowa teams are designing, building, and testing a new generation of subdetectors that could yield more discoveries in particle physics.

Mallik searches for ‘bottom quark’ that could confirm existence of ‘God particle’

Usha Mallik has spent a career trying to figure out exactly what happened during a few millionths of a billionth of an instant about 13.8 billion years ago.
