MengJiao Wang began his career in rubber research in 1964 after graduating from Shandong University and joining the Beijing Research and Design Institute of the Rubber Industry, China, as technician, Engineer, senior engineer, professor and chief engineer.

In 1982, M. J. Wang moved to France to work at the CNRS in Mulhouse as an associate researcher. He was awarded a Doctoral degree (Docteur d'Etat es Sciences) in 1984. He then spent a year and half as a visiting scientist working at the University of Akron.

From 1988 to 1989 he worked at the German Institute for Rubber Technology (DIK) as a visiting scientist. Later he joined Degussa as a Senior Scientist.

In 1993, MengJiao moved again to the United States to join Cabot, and soon became a scientific fellow of the company.

Over his 54-year career in rubber research, MengJiao Wang has published over 140 scientific papers, 10 book chapters, and he has 45 patents and 22 equivalent international patents to his name. He co-edited the book "Carbon Black: Science and Technology" and co-authored 6 other books. He was a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Rubber Chemistry and Technology (USA)， and visiting professors of Beijing University of Chemical Technology and South China university of Technology. From2012, he is the director of EVE Rubber Institute, China.

Due to his studies on polymer-filler interactions and the mechanisms involved in the three critical aspects of tire performance, namely rolling resistance, wet skid resistance and wear resistance, and the developments and application of new rubber reinforcing materials, he won the Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award, 2006. He is also honored with the lifetime member of the Rubber Division, ACS, USA.
