Cornell University under the supervision of
George Nemhauser , with a dissertation concerning
facility location .
[2]
He was editor-in-chief of
Mathematics of Operations Research from 1999 to 2003.
[3]
He was an
invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2002.

Awards and honors
In 1977, Cornuéjols was one of the winners of the
Frederick W. Lanchester Prize of the
Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS).
[7]
In 2000, he won the
Fulkerson Prize with Michele Conforti and
Mendu Rammohan Rao for their work on algorithms for recognizing
balanced matrices .
[8]
In 2009, the
Mathematical Optimization Society gave him their
George B. Dantzig Prize .
[9]
In 2011, he won the
John von Neumann Theory Prize of INFORMS "for his fundamental and broad contributions to discrete optimization including his deep research on balanced and ideal matrices, perfect graphs and cutting planes for mixed-integer optimization".
[10]
In 2016, he was elected a member of the
National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the theory, practice, and application of integer programming..
