The effect of dust on observing galaxies in the early Universe Using a variety of numerical methods which include semi-analytical methods (SAMs) and hydrodynamical simulations, I studied the evolution of dust in galaxies as well as its effect on the galaxy spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Implemented a self-consistent model for dust production and destruction in the L-Galaxies SAM. I was an integral part of the suite of simulations termed First Light And Reionisation Epoch… Show more The effect of dust on observing galaxies in the early Universe Using a variety of numerical methods which include semi-analytical methods (SAMs) and hydrodynamical simulations, I studied the evolution of dust in galaxies as well as its effect on the galaxy spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Implemented a self-consistent model for dust production and destruction in the L-Galaxies SAM. I was an integral part of the suite of simulations termed First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES), exploring a wide a range of overdensities in the Epoch of Reionisation. Implemented a model for dust extinction in FLARES by using a simple line-of-sight model to study the UV to near-IR photometric properties. Also used the radiative transfer code SKIRT to post-process the massive galaxies in FLARES to retrieve their full SEDs.
