Energy correlators have recently emerged as powerful jet substructure observables, providing a clean angular separation between perturbative and non-perturbative dynamics. In this talk, I will present a series of studies on the medium modification of energy correlators within the coupled linear Boltzmann transport and hydrodynamics (CoLBT-hydro) model, which consistently includes jet energy loss, medium-induced radiation and jet-induced medium response. Starting from jets traversing a static QGP brick, I will discuss how these effects modify energy correlators at different angular scales. I will then present results for single inclusive jets and γ-jets in Pb+Pb collisions in comparison with experimental data, together with the effects of jet selection, background subtraction and hadronization. Finally, I will discuss higher-point energy correlators in heavy-ion collisions.
