Young Kwon is Distinguished Professor of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California, USA. He also serves as Director of the Materials Research Center at NPS and was the Chair of the department. Previously, he was also Professor and Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Energy Processes of Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). He received his Ph.D. degree from Rice University, and B.S. degree from Seoul National University, all in mechanical engineering. Before joining NPS, he was Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri-Rolla. His research interests are multiscale, multiphysics and multidisciplinary problems in engineering and sciences. He wrote multiple books, Finite Element Method using MATLAB which was translated into Greek, Multiscale and Multiphysics Modeling: Techniques and Applications, and Composite Structures for Fluid-Structure Interaction. He editeda book titled Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Composite Materials and Structures. He received many awards including the Cedric K. Ferguson Medal, Menneken Awards, Excellent Research Award from American Orthopedic Society of Sports Medicines, Outstanding Instruction and Research Awards, ASME Dedicated Service Award, ASME PVPD Outstanding Service Award, ASME Board of Governors Award, ASME PVP Medal, National Dean's List, etc. He is a fellow of ASME. He serves as Technical Editor for ASME Transactional, Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, as well as Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Modeling, Experiments and Design published by Springer Nature. He severed as the ASME PVP Division Chair.
