Jet quenching effects have been widely used to study the properties of strongly-interacting matter, quark-gluon plasma, in heavy-ion collisions. Flavor tagging in heavy-ion collisions plays an important role to reveal the medium parton showers for quark and gluon evolution. Combining with kinematic information, the average jet charge can be used to separate the contribution of different jet flavors, which is defined as the momentum- weighted sum of the charges of hadrons inside a given jet. Using soft-collinear effective theory with medium interactions, we investigate the factorization of the jet charge in QCD medium. We provide predictions for jet charge distributions and their modifications compared to the ones in proton-proton collisions.
