Dr. Buchman holds a Ph.D. from Indiana University and MBA from Purdue. After earning tenure he left traditional higher education to develop online MBA finance courses for the University of Chicago and pursue his dreams of adventure travel (solar eclipses, trekking the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, driving the entire US interstate highway system in an RV, and throat singing). His life-long interest in cosmology, nucleogenesis and UFOs led him to serve, with six members of the United States Congress, on the 2013 Citizen Hearing on Disclosure Investigative Committee in Washington, DC.  His research has been presented to the American Psychological Association, the National Association of Broadcasters, TEDx at Burning Man, the Roswell UFO Festival, the Society for Scientific Exploration, and the SETI Institute in Mountain View, CA.
