DESCRIPTION:A predictive theory of galaxy formation remains elusive\, even
  after more than 50 years of dedicated effort by many renowned astrophysic
 ists.  The problem of galaxy formation is made difficult by the large rang
 e in scales involved and the many non-linear physical processes at play.  
 This talk describes a new generation of numerical models that are designed
  to overcome these difficulties based on novel schemes for solving the flu
 id equations on a moving mesh.  In particular\, I will describe an ongoing
  project that extends results from the Illustris simulation by employing r
 efined models for feedback from stars and supermassive black holes.  Sever
 al applications will be described\, including the color evolution of galax
 ies\, low surface brightness galaxies\, and the statistics of large-scale 
 structure\, pertaining to high precision cosmological surveys.\n\n
