Sumario:Because of their large mass, heavy quarks are produced primarily at early stages of heavy-ion collisions, and therefore experience the full evolution of the system and carry information about the extent of thermalization of the QGP. Azimuthal anisotropy parameters ($v_n$) of charm and bottom hadrons provide unique information about the path length dependent interactions between heavy quarks and the medium. To what extent heavy quarks at low $p_T$ flow with the medium is a good measure of the interaction strength. At high $p_T$, $v_2$ and $v_3$ from path length dependent energy loss provide a powerful tool to study heavy quark energy loss mechanisms. With the large PbPb data sample at 5.02 TeV collected by the CMS detector during the 2015 LHC run, azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ and $v_3$ of D0 meson is measured over a wide $p_T$ range and at different centralities. In this talk, new results of D0 meson $v_n$ parameters are presented, and compared to the charged hadron $v_n$ at the same energy and the latest theoretical calculations.
