Cornell was born in Palo Alto, California and is a distinguished Lowell High School alumnus. He is currently a professor at the University of Colorado and a physicist at the United States Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology.
In October 2004, his left arm and shoulder were amputated in an attempt to stop the spread of necrotizing fasciitis; he was discharged from hospital in mid-December, having recovered from the infection and returned to work part-time in April 2005.
