Aetheling (Æþeling) is the Wikipedia user name of Loren Cobb, Ph.D.
I received a Ph.D. in mathematical sociology from Cornell University in 1973. For fifteen years I 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 just about every area of medicine and public health.
I have worked with military organizations all over the world on issues of reform and restructuring for modern peacekeeping. Since 1995 I have been an independent consultant on the modeling and simulation of third-world societies for the US National Defense University, and have worked with the US, UK, and Swedish Ministries of Defense, and with US Southern Command.
I am 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 I have 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]. In 2004 I was awarded the gold medal of the Bolivian School of High National Studies, for my work in developing the NationLab approach to Bolivian national strategic studies in corruption, poverty, and narcotrafficking.
I edited the book Mathematical Frontiers of the Social and Policy Sciences with Bob Thrall, and have written dozens of academic articles in a variety of social science and mathematical disciplines. My work has been funded by federal grants and contracts since 1973, from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and a variety of military sources. I edit and write for the online journal The Quaker Economist.
So far, I have written three books, fifteen chapters in books, and fifteen scientific articles. I have designed and implemented three computer languages, and hold a patent for my commercial software algorithms. FWIW, my Erdös Number is 4.
