Constraining dark energy using real and mock galaxy surveys

In this thesis, we study how dark energy may be constrained by measurements of large-scale clustering in future galaxy surveys, and through the imprint of a time-varying large-scale potential on the CMB (the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect). We use semi-analytical galaxy formation models implemented i...
