QCD in Higgs and BSM Results from the ATLAS and CMS Experiments

Advances in theoretical calculations of QCD processes and modeling of colored objects have underpinned the success of the ATLAS and CMS Run I LHC measurements of the Higgs boson and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will cover selected recent results from the two experiments which illustrate the ways in which QCD calculations and models are used. I will additionally highlight areas in which uncertainties from these calculations and models are comparable to the experimental uncertainties, motivating further theoretical work.
