Aetheling is the Wikipedia user name of Loren Cobb, Ph.D.
Loren Cobb received his Ph.D. in mathematical sociology from Cornell University in 1973. For fifteen years he was a professor of biostatistics and biomathematics at the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of New Mexico Medical Center, working as a research consultant in every area of medicine and public health.
He has worked with military organizations all over the world on issues of reform and restructuring for modern peacekeeping. He is an independent consultant on the modeling and simulation of third-world societies for the US National Defense University, and has worked with the US, UK, and Swedish Ministries of Defense, and with US Southern Command.
He is the author of numerous simulation models for joint military/civilian peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, including two that were written specifically for training officers in UN peacekeeping operations, and another for a joint project of Sweden and the USA to build a state-of-the-art military command center for peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations.
In recent years he has designed and facilitated the NationLab series of seminars and exercises in national strategy and crisis management for seven Latin American countries, and the RegionLab exercise in international negotiations — all now conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies [1].
