Summary: We focus on evaluating transport coefficients like drag and diffusion of heavy quarks (HQ) passing through quark-gluon plasma using perturbative QCD (pQCD). Experimental-observable-like nuclear suppression factor \((R_{AA})\) of HQ is evaluated for both zero and nonzero baryonic chemical potential \((\mu_B)\) scenarios using Fokker-Planck equation. Theoretical estimates of \(R_{AA}\) are contrasted with experiments.
