Review of recent highlights in lattice calculations at finite temperature and finite density

Abstract

I review some recent lattice results on studying chiral and deconfinement transition in QCD at finite temperature and density, as well as properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures. I discuss lattice results on the equation of state, fluctuations of conserved charges, chromo-electric screening as well as the determination of the chiral transition temperature.
