About Me
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a B.S.E. in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a B.Eng. in Electronic and Computer Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I currently work with Dr. Jason Wu at Purdue University on usability for generative UIs (GenUI), using user interaction feedback to improve generated interfaces. Previously, I worked with Dr. Yue Jiang and Dr. Ben Greenman at the University of Utah on accessibility barriers during web interaction and task completion, and with Prof. Honglak Lee at the University of Michigan on helping web agents adapt to evolving websites.
Research Interests
Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Generative UI, Computer-use Agents, and Human–AI Interaction.
Selected Publication
A11yLTLNav: Automatic Detection of Accessibility Navigation Failures
Chenming Ge, Kewen Peng, Chengyang Shi, Ben Greenman, Yue Jiang
arXiv:2609.17959, 2026. Under review at CHI 2027. First author.
Detects accessibility problems during web interaction, such as lost keyboard focus and missing feedback after an action. Human reviewers confirmed 274 of 309 reports (88.7% precision) on 31 generated websites.
Research Experience
Accessibility in Web Interactions and Tasks
Research Assistant, University of Utah · May – Sep 2026
Advisors: Dr. Yue Jiang and Dr. Ben Greenman
I study accessibility barriers that arise as blind and low-vision screen-reader users navigate websites and complete tasks, including lost keyboard focus and missing feedback after an action. Drawing on prior user studies, I develop automated checks that follow interactions to detect these problems.
Usability for Generative UIs (GenUI)
Research Assistant, Purdue University · May – Oct 2026
Advisor: Dr. Jason Wu
I study how user interaction traces and feedback can reveal usability problems in generative UIs (GenUI), and use these insights to improve generated interfaces.
WebCoEvo: Adversarial Co-Evolution for Web Agents
Research Assistant, University of Michigan · Mar – Jun 2026
Advisor: Prof. Honglak Lee
Helping web agents transfer what they learn as websites and interfaces change.
