Jet quenching, mainly characterized by parton energy loss and transverse momentum broadening experienced by high energy partons as they traverse and interact with the produced QGP, provides one of the important tools to study the properties of such hot and dense nuclear matter. In this talk, I will present some recent work on jet-medium interaction: the nuclear modification of jet rates, jet structures, and jet-like correlations.  4138 Physics Research Building America/New_York public
