The author's novel reconstruction algorithms, deployed on the Field-Programmable Gate Arrays of the new CMS trigger architecture, have brought a gain of over a factor 2 in efficiency for the identification of tau leptons, with a very significant impact on important H boson measurements, such as its decays to tau lepton pairs and the search for H boson pair production.

He also describes a novel analysis of HH ? bb tautau, a high priority physics topic in a difficult channel. The original strategy, optimisation of event categories, and the control of the background  have made the result one of the most sensitive concerning the self-coupling of the Higgs boson among all possible channels at the LHC.
