Applications of strong gravitational lensing: utilizing nature’s telescope for the study of intermediate to high redshift galaxies

This dissertation presents a detailed analysis of the galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses discovered by the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) survey, with the aim of providing new insight into the processes that affect the evolution of galaxies at intermediate and high redshift. First, we present evidence...
