 nAbstract:At temperatures of about two trillion degrees Celsius\, nuclear 
 matter undergoes a transition into a new state characterized by quarks and
  gluons as its fundamental degrees of freedom — the Quark-Gluon Plasma (
 QGP). The QGP is believed to be the state of our early universe microsecon
 ds after the Big Bang and is regarded as the most perfect fluid known to d
 ate in a strongly coupled system. At present\, the only way to create QGP 
 in the laboratory is through relativistic heavy-ion collisions\, often ref
 erred to as “Little Bangs.” High-energy particles\, or jets\, produced
  in the early stages of these collisions interact with the QGP as they tra
 verse it\, making them ideal probes of its internal structure. With the co
 ordinated progress of theory and experiment\, jet studies are moving from 
 the qualitative discovery of the QGP to the precise determination of its p
 roperties. This talk will present recent progress in jet theory\, with a f
 ocus on how to use transport models to consistently describe the nuclear m
 odification of different jet flavors in the QGP and to quantitatively extr
 act QGP properties\, such as the equation of state of strongly interacting
  matter. We will also discuss a new jet production mechanism arising from 
 interactions between energetic particles and the QGP — the thermal recoi
 l jet — and examine its observable signatures in experiments\, as well a
 s new opportunities it offers for probing QGP properties.Biography:Shansha
