Hard to say. I myself would always type Bühlmann but I know that it is not uncommon amongst scientists to get rid of non-7bit ASCII characters in their names on papers to be visible in (old) databases. My boss' name is Lüst but he publishes as Lust (which btw translates the meaning of the name from German to English, I don't know if that is an advantage). And Julius Wess (of supersymmetry fame) was born as Weß but never used that for similar reasons.
Just my $.02
