  Hard Probes are an essential tool to discover the properties of the
quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. The study of hard probes
always involves taking into account very different energy scales, and this is
precisely the situation in which Effective Fields Theories (EFTs) are useful.
EFTs can be used to separate the short-distance and perturbative physics from
the long-distance and non-perturbative. This method combined with Lattice QCD
evaluations of the long-distance effects can provide accurate and first
principles results. In this proceeding, I will report recent advances in this
direction. Results from an EFT computation of quarkonium $R_{AA}$ at
$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02\,\textit{TeV}$ are shown for the first time here.
