Longjie Guo

Pronounce my name: long-ji-eh

Email: longjie [at] uw [dot] edu

I am a 3rd-year PhD student in the Information School at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Alexis Hiniker.

My research lies in human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-centered AI. I am interested in:

• Leveraging multimodal LLMs and GUI agents for user interface understanding and optimization, with applications in digital well-being, countering deceptive design, and usability evaluation and improvement
• Evaluating and building more trustworthy, human-centered GUI agents that navigate digital environments

Previously, I received my BS in Computer Sciences and Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I worked with Prof. Jacob Thebault-Spieker on social computing. I also worked on the EduSense project through the REUSE program at Carnegie Mellon University.

I am looking for internship opportunities for Summer 2026. Feel free to reach out via email if you know relevant opportunities!
