الدكتور يزن انهى دراسة البكالوريوس بتخصص هندسة القوى الكهربائية في جامعة اليرموك عام 2010 وكان الأول على تخصصه وحصل على جائزة أعلى معدل تراكمي في الجامعه.

وبعد هيك كمل دراسة الماستر والدكتوراه في جامعة ولايه أوهايو الامريكيه (The Ohio State University) وبرضو حاز على جائزة (presidential fellowship ) وهي أعلى وأصعب جائزة تعطى لطالب الدكتوراة في ولايه أوهايو نظرا لإسهاماته البحثيه وتميزه الأكاديمي.

الدكتور يزن الصمادي يشغل حاليا أيضا منصب خبير أبحاث متقدم (Senior Research Scientist ) في اكبر شركه للطاقه الكهربائيه في الولايات المتحده الامريكيه وعضو هيئة تدريس في قسم الهندسه الكهربائيه في جامعه أوهايو الامريكيه العريقه.

الاهتمامات العلمية والبحثية لدكتور يزن متنوعه وعديده ، حيث قام بنشر اكثر من 30 بحث في المجلات العلمية المتقدمه في مجالات التحكم المتقدم بانظمة القوى الكربائيه ودمج أنظمة الطاقه المتجدده بالشبكة الكهربائيه . ولأنه الشخص المتميز ما بوقف عند أخذ العلم وبس، دكتور يزن طبق العلم الي تعلمه في مجموعة كبيرة من المشاريع العلميه في مجال الطاقة الكهربائيه والطاقة المتجددة كالطاقة الشمسية و طاقة الرياح.

ويعتبر خبير ومستشار في هذا المجال في العديد من الشركات العالميه في امريكا والصين وروسيا زي American Electric Power); Boeing; General Electric (GE) Aviation, General Motors (GM); Ford; State Grid وغيرها الكثير.
