J. Robert Buchler is an American Astrophysicist whose research effort has been devoted to Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics, Nonlinear Dynamics and Radiation Hydrodynamics.

Life and Education
Buchler was born in 1942 in Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy ofLuxembourg, son of Lucien and Emma Buchler-Rausch. After attending the Athénée Grand-Ducal in Luxembourg he completed his Licence en Sciences Physiques at the Université de Liège, Belgium in 1965 and his Ph. D. in Physics at University of California San Diego in 1969. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech under Nobel Laureate Willy Fowler from 1969 to 1971 before becoming an Assistant Professor at the Belfer Graduate School of Yeshiva University in New York. In 1974 he joined the Physics faculty at the University of Florida. Over the years he has been a frequent consultant at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Research Contributions
His earlier work was in Nuclear Manybody Physics and Astrophysics. Most of Buchler's work has been to adapt and apply modern techniques of nonlinear dynamics to understanding the physical mechanism underlying variable stars. Buchler has also made seminal contributions to radiation transport.

Publications
He has coauthored over 200 publications. List of publications of J. Robert Buchler
