Diploma (Licenciatura) Biological Science (Zoology: Morphology and Sistematics) 1980
Thesis: "The genus Derallus Sharp in Argentina"

After graduating, I held several scholarships aimed at completing my doctorate (CONICET). After doctoring, I earned a postdoctoral scholarship to visit Brussel (Belgium) and entered the career of scientific researcher, all in CONICET.
As scholarship holder and as researcher I have described 40 species of Coleoptera Hydrophiloidea and cleared the status of Epimetopidae, Georissidae, Hydrochidae, Hydrophilidae Berosini and Hydrophilidae Laccobiini in Argentina.
I used my knowledge of general entomological biodiversity and the methodology I had learned to begin the study of Forensic Entomology in Argentina in 1993.
In 1994 there was a notorious criminal case which hinged on datation. My entomological expertise settled the date. As a result of the impact of this case on public opinion, compulsory military service was abolished in Argentina.
See Oliva and Ravioli: Conscript Carrasco, a peacetime casuality. Anil Aggrawal's Journal of Forensic Science, 2004.
Since then, I am Chief (and sole staff) of the Laboratory of Forensic Entomology, at the Museo argentino de Ciencias naturales, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
