Fisico, è stato dal 1978 titolare della cattedra di fisica teorica presso il Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Università "La Sapienza" di Roma. È presidente dell'International Centre for Relativistic Astrophysics (ICRA) e direttore dell'ICRANet. Nel 1975, insieme al premio Nobel Abdus Salam, ha dato vita ai Marcel Grossmann Meetings. Un suo articolo del 1971 con John Wheeler su Physics Today ha introdotto il concetto di buco nero e i suoi studi hanno permesso di identificare il primo buco nero nella nostra galassia, Cygnus X-1.
