Abstract: Understanding the phase diagram of QCD at finite density and temperature remains one of the most prominent open problems in modern physics. In this talk, I will present a model in type IIA supergravity that describes holographically a QCD-like theory at strong coupling. I will show how the phase diagram at finite temperature and external magnetic field looks like. This turns out to be quite rich, both with first and second order confinement/deconfinement phase transitions and a critical point. Finally, I will explain how these results are leading us to find the first realization of finite baryon density states in a top-down confining holographic model.
