development and application of modern fluid dynamics for relativistic (and relativistically evolving) fluids, and he has made several discoveries that require text books on the field to be rewritten (which he has done!

<br class="">
<b class="">Abstract:</b><span style="margin: 0px; border: 0px currentcolor;" class=""> </span>In standard textbooks, fluid dynamics is often introduced as a near-equilibrium approximation to classical kinetic theory. Recent advances, both in theory for out-of-equilibrium
quantum field theories and experimental data from high energy colliders, have taught us that the textbooks are wrong: fluid dynamics quantitatively applies in out-of-equilibrium, and highly quantum-mechanical, situations. In these lectures, I will discuss
how modern out-of-equilibrium fluid dynamics is set up, how it relates to familiar microscopic approaches such as kinetic theory and gauge/gravity duality, and how and when it breaks down. If time allows, I'll also mention hydrodynamics result for high-energy
nuclear collisions at the LHC as an application of this out-of-equilibrium fluid dynamics framework.</div>
