Abstract
Many people have supported me during the development of this thesis and I owe them all a debt of gratitude. Firstly, I would like to thank my advisor Gopalan Nadathur for his patience and guidance which have played a significant part in my development as a researcher. His willingness to share his opinions on everything from academic life to playing squash has helped me to develop a perspective and to have fun while doing this. I look forward to continuing my interactions with him far into the future. I am grateful to Dale Miller for sharing with me an excitement for research and an appreciation of the uncertainty that precedes understanding. I have never met anybody else who so enjoys when things seem amiss, because he knows that a new perspective will eventually emerge and bring clarity. This thesis has been heavily influenced by the time I have spent working with Alwen Tiu, David Baelde, Zach Snow, and Xiaochu Qi. Understanding their work has given me a deeper understanding of my own research and its role in the bigger picture. I am thankful for the time I have had with each and every one of them.
