Laboratory for Air Transportation,
Infrastructure, and Connected Environments (LATTICE)
Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

LATTICE was founded in 2022 at the University of Michigan to rethink how air transportation systems are studied and designed: as complex, data-driven, and socio-technical infrastructures.

From air traffic management to emerging mobility systems, the group brings together researchers across disciplines to tackle real-world challenges in safety-critical environments.
