Kevin-Christian Garzon Galindo Aeronautical Research Engineer, San Jose State University Research Foundation Affiliation– NASA Ames Research Center Division– Human Systems Integration Division (TH) Phone– 650-604-1491 Email– k.garzongalindo@nasa.gov Mail Stop– 262-4 Professional Bio Kevin-Christian Garzon Galindo is an Aeronautical Research Engineer at NASA Ames Research Center, where he supports the integration of emerging high-altitude and stratospheric vehicles into the national airspace system. Since 2020, he has been involved in advanced research on high-altitude operations, beginning with supersonic transport concepts. His early work focused on how vehicle design, propulsion systems, and sonic booms influence aircraft performance and safety, especially under off-nominal conditions. Over time, his research has expanded to a broader class of stratospheric vehicles, with an emphasis on modeling vehicle dynamics, understanding atmospheric sensitivities, and enabling safe and efficient operational integration. At NASA, Kevin has led simulated flight test campaigns in collaboration with industry partners, developed tools to streamline scenario creation and data integration, and contributed to early models of airborne rerouting...
