Dr. Héctor Andrade Loarca
Scientist, AI Leader, and Builder — I work at the intersection of deep learning, 3D vision, and biomedical AI. Currently shaping research at TUM and startups in healthtech at AngioWave Imaging and venture capital at Nazca.
Current Positions
- 🔬 Postdoctoral Researcher, Computer Vision Group, TUM — 3D deep learning, shape reconstruction under Prof. Daniel Cremers.
- 🧠 Head of AI, AngioWave Imaging — Leading biomedical imaging AI; founding team member.
- 💼 Head of AI, Nazca VC — Building AI tools and analysis frameworks for venture capital in Latin America.
Research Interests
My research lies at the intersection of computer vision, inverse problems, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in 3D shape reconstruction, biomedical imaging, inverse rendering, and applied harmonic analysis.
Software Projects
- Shearlab.jl: Julia library for multidimensional signal processing.
- tfShearlab: TensorFlow interface for Shearlab-style transforms.
Academic Background
Before TUM, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at LMU Munich’s Mathematical Foundations of AI Group with Prof. Gitta Kutyniok, focusing on inverse problems in graphics and medical imaging.
I completed my PhD at TU Berlin in the Applied Functional Analysis Group, working on deep learning and microlocal analysis for tomographic reconstructions.
I was also part of the Berlin Mathematical School, Phase II scholarship holder.
