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.[13]
