Dr Shyam Balaji is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Physics, King's College London. He is an Australian theoretical physicist researching astroparticle physics and cosmology, and currently resides in London but is originally from Perth in the west coast (best coast) of Australia.

His research is focused around studying the physics of the early universe, identifying dark matter and using Earth and space-based experiments to look for new physics. Currently, he is postdoctoral research fellow at the Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology Group (TPPC) of King's College London. His position before this was from end of 2021 to 2023 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory for Theoretical and High Energy Physics (LPTHE) of Sorbonne University with Professor Joseph Silk. He received his Ph.D. in particle physics from the University of Sydney in 2021.
