Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYuhan Hao is a postdoctoral researcher and entrepreneur based in New York with eight years of experience at the intersection of computational biology and data science. He holds a PhD in Computational Biology from NYU and combines academic rigor with startup experience as Co-Founder and former Head of Data Science at Neptune Bio. His contributions to the widely used Seurat single-cell genomics toolkit—adding BlendPlot co-expression visualization, improved FeaturePlot styling, group splitting, and robust handling of zero values—reflect a practical focus on making complex biological data more interpretable. Now at UCSF, he applies scalable analysis and visualization techniques to single-cell problems while continuing to bridge research and product development.

Contributions summary:Yuhan added functionality for blend plots and improved the existing FeaturePlot functions. They focused on visualizing co-expression patterns by implementing BlendPlot, which generates plots to visualize the relationship between two features on a dimensional reduction plot, including legend. They also added the feature to split by groups, added custom color, and improved the overall style for these visualization tools. The user implemented modifications to handle zero-value cases within the feature plotting functionality and added the ability to sort cell ordering.
