Jae-Guen Yang was born on June 25 1962, in Seoul, Korea. He graduated with his

Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering from Yonsei University in

Seoul, Korea, in February 1985. He received his Master of Science degree, specializing

in Structures, at the same university in February 1987.

He began his graduate studies at Virginia Polytechnic and State University in

September 1990. After receiving the Master of Science degree in December 1991, he

continued his studies as a Ph. D. student at the same university.
