Top SchoolKen Sewell is a Senior Computer Engineer and Staff Systems Architect with 17 years of experience designing high-fidelity simulations, distributed systems, and real-time C++ architectures for the Air Force Research Labs. He leads digital engineering efforts integrating Unreal Engine 5 and advanced simulation frameworks to model complex battle spaces, sensor systems, and IADS concepts. Ken has deep expertise in simulation interoperability (DIS), GPGPU acceleration with CUDA, and building networked APIs and daemons that bind heterogeneous C/C++ systems into cohesive virtual environments. His career spans hands-on development, lab operations, and mentoring AFIT projects on UAV swarms, electronic and cyber warfare, reflecting both technical depth and operational impact. Based in Dayton, Ohio, he combines systems-level thinking with practical optimization techniques and a track record of re-hosting and modernizing legacy threat simulations for current architectures. An understated strength is his consistent role as a bridge between research, students, and mission partners—turning lab prototypes into demonstrable tools for defense stakeholders.
