Abstract: The Higgs boson discovery is a milestone in particle physics. It provides a lamp post for our search of new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will discuss the implications of current Higgs measurements for supersymmetry, in particular, scalar tops and heavy Higgs bosons. I will also argue that in general a deviation in Higgs couplings measurable at the LHC would imply a bosonic scale at 10 - 100 TeV. Finally, I will demonstrate the sensitivities of future Higgs measurements and electroweak precision tests to new physics.​
