Dr Buller has trained scientists in aquatic bacteriology methods from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and French Polynesia and has given workshops on aquatic bacteria identification methods to students, including overseas students, at Curtin University as part of a Post Graduate degree in aquaculture management. Dr Buller is also author or co-author of 43 journal articles, 7 Australian and New Zealand Standard Diagnostic Procedures and many papers at conferences.
