where his wife also attended Cornell dean scientist

I couldn’t identify a reliable match from the information available, so I can’t confidently say who this refers to. The Cornell-related results I found point to different people and roles, but none clearly fit “his wife also attended Cornell” and “dean scientist” together.

What I found

• One result is an obituary for William “Bill” P. Flatt, described as a researcher and philanthropist.
• Another is about Robert Harrington being named dean of Weill Cornell Medicine.

• A separate Cornell story names Sorin Lerner as a new dean in computing and information science.

If you’re asking about a specific person from a forum post or headline, the phrasing is too incomplete to verify safely from these results alone.
