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]

Contents

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. [13]
