  We employ an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton model, based on the gauge/gravity
correspondence, to obtain the thermodynamics and transport properties for the
hot and dense quark-gluon plasma. The model, which is constrained to reproduce
lattice QCD thermodynamics at zero density, predicts a critical point and a
first order line at finite temperature and density, is used to quantify jet
energy loss through simulations of high-energy collision events.
