Research work

edit

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]
