<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"proximanova",sans-serif;color:#555555">Abstract: Nuclear matter has a complex phase structure, including a deconfined Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) phase
at extreme pressures and temperatures. The hot QGP behaves like an inviscid fluid and filled the universe during its first few microseconds after the Big Bang. High energy collisions of heavy atomic nuclei recreate this hot nuclear matter in the laboratory.
In this talk, I will review recent theoretical progress in studying the QGP transport properties. The Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) has conducted a beam energy scan whose results offer a unique opportunity to study the nuclear phase diagram in a
baryon-rich environment. I will highlight the development of a comprehensive framework that can connect the fundamental theory of strong interactions with the RHIC experimental observables. This dynamical framework paves the way for quantitative QGP characterization
and locating the critical point in the nuclear phase diagram. These studies will advance our understanding of strongly interacting many-body systems, building interconnections with other areas of physics, including string theory, cosmology, and cold atomic
gases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
