Gustavo E. Romero is a professor of Relativistic Astrophysics at the
University of La Plata in Argentina. In addition to his academic role, he serves as a Superior Researcher of the National Research Council of Argentina.
[1] Romero also holds the position of Director of the
Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy (IAR). Additionally, Romero has previously served as President of the Argentine Astronomical Society
[2] and is currently the leader of the GARRA research group
[3] and a
Helmholtz International Fellow .
[4]
For his professional accomplishments, Romero has been honored with several notable awards in scientific research, including an award from the Argentine Academy of Sciences,
[5] the
Houssay Prize
[6] and the
Konex Award 2023.
[7]
Research work
Romero has worked extensively on gamma-ray, neutrino and cosmic-ray astrophysics, black holes, and scientific philosophy. He is well known for his investigations of blazars, microquasars, and unidentified gamma-ray sources.
[8] His research has received around 11000 citations in the academic literature,
[9] making him one of the most cited scientists of Argentina.
[10]
In the field of philosophy, he has contributed with research on
Supertask , spacetime ontology,
[11] and aesthetics.
[12] Romero is usually considered a disciple of the Argentine-Canadian philosopher and physicist Mario Bunge
.
