  We calculate open heavy-flavor (HF) transport in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions by applying a strong-coupling treatment in both macro- and
microscopic dynamics (hydrodynamics and non-perturbative diffusion
interactions). The hydrodynamic medium evolution is quantitatively constrained
by bulk and multi-strange hadron spectra and elliptic flow. The heavy quark
(HQ) transport coefficient is evaluated from a non-perturbative $T$-matrix
approach in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) which, close to the critical
temperature, leads to resonance formation and feeds into the recombination of
heavy quarks on a hydrodynamic hypersurface. In the hadronic phase, the
diffusion of HF mesons is obtained from effective hadronic theory. We compute
observables at RHIC and LHC for non-photonic electrons and HF mesons,
respectively.
