Synthesis of clustering techniques in educational data mining

Dr. Bermel is widely-published in both scientific peer-reviewed journals and publications geared towards the general public. His work, which has been cited over 4400 times, for an h-index value of 24, includes the following topics: * Understanding and optimizing the detailed mechanisms of light trapping in thinfilm photovoltaics * Fabricating and characterizing 3D inverse opal photonic crystals made from silicon for photovoltaics, and comparing to theoretical predictions * Explaining key physical effects influencing selective thermal emitters in order to achieve high performance thermophotovoltaic systems
