| Abstract: | A search for Higgs bosons decaying to a pair of taus is presented using pp collision at both 7 and 8 TeV energy with the CMS experiment at LHC. This search is a major test whether the newly discovered boson couples to taus as predicted by Standard Model, at the appropriate level. Several production modes of the Higgs (GluGlu, VBF and associated with W/Z boson ) are covered using final state categories. The search, with b-tagging included, is also interpreted in a search for neutral Higgs bosons in the MSSM parameter space. |

 Professor Dasu earned his Ph.D. in 1988 from the University of Rochester, working on the E141 Deep Inelastic Scattering experiment at SLAC. He took a postdoc at SLAC to continue won E140 and E141, as well as joining the SLD experiment. From there he moved to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has worked on the SDC, ZEUS and BaBar experiments. He has been a member of the CMS experiment since its inception and was responsible for several aspects of the experiment. He helped design the level-1 and high level trigger systems, operates a Tier-2 computing center in Madison, and is currently co-convener of the CMS Higgs to Taus analysis subgroup.
