Clecio Roque De Bom

Using AI-based catalogs he obtained the first and most constraining Hubble constant measurement from Dark Sirens at the time (2024) during the fourth observational season of gravitational-wave detectors. He were co-authors of the discovery of neutron star merger candidate GRB 230307. He is spokesperson of the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) and Principal Investigator of the S-PLUS Transient Extension Program (STEP) and its gravitational-wave branch (STEP-GW) and serves as PI in multiple fast transient projects. He received multiple recognitions including the Jacob Pallis Award from the Fulbright Commission and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2025), Researcher Prize from the Brazil Conference at Harvard and MIT (2024) and as an Affiliated Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2024). He coordinates the TVS Vera Rubin Observatory Taskforce on Large Language Models and Foundational Models, as well as the VeraRubin Strong Lensing Science Collaboration Data Challenge (2024–2025). His pioneering contributions to artificial intelligence in astrophysics include the early application of neural networks (2012) to strong gravitational lensing and the development of the AI-based winning solution for the II worldwide data competition to find Strong Gravitational Lensing (2020).
