Connecting Researchers and Students Through AAM Innovation
We’re excited to share that LYNEports CEO Rasha Alshami was invited to deliver a guest lecture at the University of North Texas’ Center for Integrated Intelligent Mobility Systems (CIIMS) , one of FAA’s designated centers for innovation in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).
The session welcomed 86 participants, including researchers, students, engineers, and developers, for an engaging discussion on the future of integrated mobility systems. During her lecture, Rasha highlighted the increasing need for geospatial planning tools in AAM and how LYNEports is addressing this demand with intuitive, data-driven software solutions.
LYNEports lecture emphasized the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration in designing tomorrow’s mobility networks. With representation from aviation, logistics, emergency management, and urban planning, the session served as a platform for new ideas, research dialogue, and practical exploration of policy-technology intersections.
