Gustavo E. Romero is a professor of Relativistic Astrophysics at the University of La Plata and Superior Researcher of the National Research Council of Argentina.[1] Currently, he is Director of the Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy (IAR). He is past President of the Argentine Astronomical Society[2] and currently he is the leader of GARRA research group[3] and a Helmholtz International Fellow.[4] Romero has been honored with several award for his achievements in scientific research, including the award of the Argentine Academy of Sciences[5] and the Houssay Prize[6]

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.[7] His research has received around 11000 citations in the academic literature,[8] making him one of the most cited scientists of Argentina.[9]


In the field of philosophy, he has contributed with research on Supertask, spacetime ontology,[10] and aesthetics.[11] Romero is usually considered a disciple of the Argentine-Canadian philosopher and physicist Mario Bunge .[12]
