It is a grand challenge to develop a simple physical model that can faithfully emulate the results of high-resolution galaxy formation simulations and scale up their predictions to cosmologically representative volumes. Semi-analytic models (SAMs) are a promising means of tracking the physical processes associated with galaxy formation, but they are based on many approximations that have not been rigorously tested. In this dissertation, I demonstrate that SAMs can be re-tooled to roughly reproduce the overall baryon cycle of simulated galaxies.I start by comparing predictions between the Santa Cruz SAM and the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulation suite. I show that both models predict remarkably similar stellar and interstel...
