Barbora Oudova-Rivera

Dr. Barbora Oudova-Rivera is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia. Her research focuses on microbial processes in environmental systems, particularly nitrification and methane mitigation.

Academic Background:

• PhD in Biomolecular Science (2018-2023), University of East Anglia
• MSc in Earth and Environment (2016-2018), Wageningen University
• MSc in Agricultural Engineering (2015-2017), Mendel University
• BSc in Agrobiology (2012-2015), Mendel University
• Bachelor in Music and Ethics Teaching (2008-2011), Matej Bel University

Research Interests:
She investigates the role of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in methane oxidation, soil microbiology, and biogeochemical cycles. Her work bridges microbial ecology with climate change mitigation strategies.

Recent Publications:
Her studies (2023) on methane and methanol impacts on terrestrial archaea, copper inhibition, and alcohol-based inhibitors highlight novel approaches to managing nitrogen and carbon cycles. Earlier work (2021) explores plant community effects on grassland nitrogen efficiency.

Affiliations & Collaborations:
Collaborated with researchers including Lehtovirta-Morley, Crombie, Wright, and Murrell on microbiological processes. Affiliated with the University of East Anglia since 2018.
