About Me
Hi, human / crawler!
I am Yuning Mao
, a research scientist at Meta
GenAI.
I received my Ph.D degree in Computer Science from University of Illinois at
Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), where I was a member of Prof.
Jiawei Han's Group.
I received my Bachelor's degree from the IEEE Class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).
My research goal is to help humans acquire information and knowledge more effectively and efficiently. I have been working on a range of topics towards this goal, such as text summarization and generation, question answering, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, and taxonomy construction. Most recently, I am developing Meta's large language models (Llama 2 & 3, Meta AI assistant, etc.), especially around model safety.
[Intern hiring] We're looking for self-motivated research interns experienced in LLMs
for summer 2025, with a range of potential topics such as LLM safety (auto redteaming,
multilinguality, ...), data (data selection, synthetic data, analysis of data impact on LLM
performance, ...), alignment (RLHF, steerability, agent, ...). If interested, pls drop me an
email with the projects/directions you want to work on.
[FTE hiring] We are hiring research scientists (IC4-IC7) with strong LLM background
for post-training (acorss prod & research, safety & helpfulness). Contact me if you're
interested.
