Jayeel Serrano Cornelio erwarb seinen Abschluss als MSocSci (2007) und seine Promotion (2011) in Soziologie an der National University of Singapore. Gefördert wurde er durch ein Promotionsstipendium des Asia Research Institute, ein Graduiertenstipendium für ASEAN-Bürger und erhielt den Preis der Lee-Stiftung für wissenschaftliche Exzellenz. Er arbeitete als Forschungsstudent an der Abteilung für Politik, Philosophie und Religion der Universität Lancaster und war wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für philippinische Kultur. Auf den Philippinen war er außerdem wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am East Asian Pastoral Institute und unterrichtete Soziologie und Development Studies an der Ateneo de Manila Universität.
Jayeel Cornelios Forschungsinteressen kreisen um Jugend, Religion und Bildung. Er veröffentlichte Studien über das evangelikale Christentum in Singapur, den institutionellen Katholizismus auf den Philippinen, die katholische Filipino Jugend, Religion im Internet und Generationenbewusstsein in der Bildungsforschung. Am MPI-MMG wird Jayeel Cornelio in seinem Postdoc-Projekt die politische und religiöse Subjektivität von jungen Menschen innerhalb glaubensbasierter Bewegungen in Singapur erforschen. Mit diesem Projekt will er einem Beitrag zum Forschungsschwerpunkt Urban Aspirations in Mega-Städten liefern.
