Disentangling star formation and AGN activity in the GAMA (G23) region
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Observations of galaxies at di↵erent wavelengths have shaped our understanding of their
formation and evolution through time. The commonly derived parameters, such as stellar
mass and star formation rate (SFR), rely on ...
Computational modelling of a hot-wire chemical vapour deposition reactor chamber
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
In this thesis, I explore the subjects of fluid dynamics and the Hot-Wire Chemical Vapour
Deposition (HWCVD) process. HWCVD, in its simplicity, is one of the more powerful and
elegant deposition techniques available in ...
Probing large-scale structure with the SKAO and other cosmological surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In recent history there have been several advances in cosmology, which has significantly
shaped our understanding of the Universe. The current leading theory is called ΛCDM,
which can successfully model the expansion of ...
Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless
double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle ...
