My Ph.D. thesis presents a rigorous investigation connecting supermassive black holes with their host galaxy properties such as mass, size, density, and stellar kinematics. This work discovered new (black hole)-galaxy relations and revealed how they are dependent on the host galaxy's structure, i.e., a spiral or elliptical galaxy formed by different physical processes. These results will have multiple applications in other fields of astronomy, such as gravitational-wave physics, and offer a big step towards understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes and our Universe in general.
