\section{Abstract} \textbf{Abstract}  The purpose of this report is to investigate the merging of galaxies paying particular attention to the evolution of their nuclei. It is to study how these mergers lead to increased star formation and accretion of matter into the nuclear black-hole using radio wave observations. Radio observations on these mergers are not easily compiled as radio waves are not affected by frequent dust obscuration within galactic nuclei - which biases the statistical inferences of surveys at other wavelengths. It is important to note that galaxy mergers are postulated to provide a prime source for the detection of gravitational waves. This report will aim to learn  more about galaxy mergers using observations that are not detected in the visible and infra-red bands. Through the use of statistical methods, a better understanding of galaxy-galaxy mergers can be obtained when these are studied by making observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. Observations are more easily obtained in the near- infra-red, visible and x-ray wavelengths. This means that our current knowledge is only limited to observations made in these bands, leaving much undiscovered. We observe an increase in quasar activity as the separation between paired quasars decreases. Through this observation and results obtained in studies at the X-ray band, we observe that indeed AGN merging events lead to enhanced radio jet activity.
