Abstract
The study in this thesis consists of two parts. The first part is a very primitive investigation of the lattice regularization of four dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories. The second part is about the formulation of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. Both parts are about trying to study the nonperturbative regions of two interesting models by formulating them on a spacetime lattice, similar to what has been done with nonsupersymmetric vector-like theories, where much successes has been achieved.
