This thesis addresses two of the central processes which underpin
the formation of galaxies: the formation of stars and the injection
of energy into the interstellar medium from supernovae, called
feedback. In her work Claudia Lagos has completely overhauled the
treatment of these processes in simulations of galaxy formation.
Her thesis makes two major breakthroughs, and represents the first
major steps forward in these areas in more than a decade. Her work
has enabled, for the first time, predictions to be made which can
be compared against new observations which probe the neutral gas
content of galaxies, opening up a completely novel way to constrain
the models. The treatment of feedback from supernovae, and how this
removes material from the interstellar medium, is also likely to
have a lasting impact on the field. Claudia Lagos Ph.D. thesis was
nominated by the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham
University as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis 2012.
