Poster Title: Quasars in Hierarchical Galaxy Formation

Abstract: Observations suggest a fundamental relationship between black holes and their host galactic bulges. Quasars are often associated with violent starbursts and galaxy mergers, which may also trigger bulge formation. We add black holes and quasars to a hierarchical galaxy formation model, to study the growth of supermassive black holes by mergers and accretion.
