Argentine astrophysicist and philosopher of science, based at the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía (IAR, CONICET), CICPBA, and UNLP (La Plata, Buenos Aires), who works across relativistic astrophysics and formal philosophy of science.

Matters to this vault as the author of a 2026 formal theory of "partial truth" for scientific statements (arXiv:2611.07179; *Philosophies* 2026, 11(5), 194), which revises [[entity-mario-bunge|Mario Bunge]]'s own axiomatization to fix a parenthesization-dependence flaw identified by Agustín Gracia Di Rienzo in 2025 ([[claim-romero-2026-fixes-bunge-parenthesization-flaw-with-elementary-set-aggregation]]). The paper builds on Romero's own earlier program distinguishing truth from relevance ("Truth and relevancy," *Metatheoria*, 2017; *Scientific Philosophy*, Springer, 2018), and its sole real-world worked example draws on his own field of astrophysics — a Chandra X-ray-derived mass-loss rate for the star ζ Puppis ([[claim-romero-2026-zeta-puppis-worked-example-unverified-quant]]).
