This thesis combines a theoretical model of galaxy formation with a
treatment of the radiative transfer in the titular dusty
star-forming galaxies. Embedding this within the well-established
CDM (Lambda cold dark matter) cosmology, the author was able to
simulate galaxy populations from which realistic observational
images were synthesised. Based on further analysis, he shows that
there is a good correspondence with observations from new
instruments such as the SCUBA2 bolometric camera and the Atacama
Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) interferometer, and reveals some
novel aspects of this exciting galaxy population. In particular, he
shows that blending of these galaxies in the imaging produces an
artificial enhancement in their clustering, which he dubs "blending
bias". This implies that the host dark matter halo masses for these
galaxies have previously been significantly overestimated. He also
presents amongst the first predictions from a galaxy formation
model for observations of these galaxies that will be made by the
James Webb Space Telescope (the successor to the Hubble Space
Telescope).
