Strongly interacting phases of QCD matter at extreme temperature and densities are complex and perplexing, yet they can reveal a lot about the fundamental dynamics of gauge theories. One such phase is the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), which was formed in the microsecond-old Universe and has recently been successfully recreated in the major collider experiments at CERN and BNL. Upcoming experiments will probe QCD matter further in the high baryon density regime revealing many features of the complex phase diagram. Recently new insights on cold dense QCD matter which inhabit the core of neutron stars have come from observations of new era of multi-messenger astronomy. Theoretical description of how such phases of QCD matter were formed from perturbative processes and their equilibration and thermodynamic and real-time properties pose one of the most difficult challenges in theoretical physics today.The goal of this program is to train the younger researchers comprehensively for confronting t...
