Numerically modeling the evolution of dust grains in galaxy formation simulations
In this thesis, I present the development of various models for dust physics suited for galaxy formation simulations. I begin by introducing a model to evolve the spatial distribution of dust in galaxies, with dust treated as a passive scalar advected according to hydrodynamic flow. This model …

Pseudoscorpion Systematics & Phylogenetics: Exploring the Effects of Accelerated Rates of Evolution on Both Ancient and Recent Diversification
Like many arthropod lineages, the arachnid order Pseudoscorpiones De Geer, 1778 evolved long enough ago to be present for the coming together and breaking apart of the supercontinent Pangea, the rise and fall of the Dinosaurs, and many iterations of extreme global climatic fluctuations. Roughly 400 …

Non-native perception, production, and lexical processing of tone
In this dissertation, I investigate how and why adults differ in the ease with which they learn tone in a non-native language. I examine the extent to which individual variability in tone learning facility depends on factors attributable to a learner’s first language, namely the function of pitch …

Environmental Impacts on Simulated Galaxy Properties
Galaxies in the Universe come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. The range of properties is produced from a combination of physical processes. Galaxies live within various structures and therefore receive different influences from their environment that alter their evolutionary pathways. …

Lyα emission as a sensitive probe of galactic mergers and reionization
… probe of the epoch of reionization. This thesis investigates how various physical processes shape Lyα emission and its connection to cosmic reionization, using state-of-the-art cosmological zoom-in simulations. By post-processing these simulations, we generate synthetic Lyα spectra for comparison …
