Applications of high-frequency resolution, wide-field VLBI: observations of nearby star-forming galaxies & habitable exoplanetary candidates

In this thesis, I investigate the radio source populations and properties of two nearby star-forming galaxies. In addition, I present an independent method to estimate the supernova and massive star-formation rates of star-forming galaxies. This study makes use of a new technique that allows multipl...
