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 on 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].
