Description

This talk presents results using the EAGLE suite of galaxy formation simulations to study the formation of galaxies similar in their stellar element abundance patterns to the Milky Way. I then propose how the simulations make predictions for the assembly of the Milky Way which are testable using observational data. I also discuss how the simulations provide insights into its context as a disk galaxy among the many that we see in the Universe.
