This thesis presents two analyses that involve the identification of hadronic jets produced by the fragmentation of b-quarks or "b-jets''. The identification exploits the hard fragmentation of b-quarks and relatively long lifetime of B hadrons. The first analysis is the calibration of the efficiency of the MV2c10 b-jet identification algorithm using a sample of b-jets with muons from B hadron decays and a kinematic property of these jets knows as "pTrel'', which is constructed from the muons. This analysis was performed using 68 fb-1 of data collected at √s = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. Improvements in the methods of this calibration have led to a reduction by more than an order of magnitude in the uncertainty of earlier measurements of b-jet tagging efficiency using this approach. This work included substantial contributions to the software and computing framework used to the study the identification of jets produced by heavy flavor decay; these contributions are described herein. The second analysis is a search for electroweakly-produced supersymmetric partners of the gauge bosons or "gauginos''. This search uses 140 \\ifb\\ of data collected at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. My work focused on developing a new signal region that targeted final states specifically containing two b-jets and two light-quark jets. As part of this optimization, I examined different supersymmetric scenarios and explored alternative techniques for estimating the Standard Model backgrounds. Based on preliminary results, in the wino-bino scenario, this search is expected to provide sensivity to charginos with masses up to ~1 TeV. For a scenario in the general-gauge-mediation model (where higgsino becomes the next-lightest SUSY particle), this search will provide sensitivity for higgsinos with masses up to 600 GeV (discovery) or 800 GeV (exclusion) for most of the possible Z/h branching ratios. Finally, the sensitivity to the scenarios where higgsino is next-lightest and bino is the lightest SUSY particle has been studied, on which no explicit exclusion has been reported yet by the searches in LHC.
