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 currently CTPO on a stealth venture. Previously I was Head of AI at the venture capital firm Nazca.
Current Positions
- 🔬 Postdoctoral Researcher, Computer Vision Group, TUM — 3D deep learning, shape reconstruction under Prof. Daniel Cremers.
- 🧠 Head of AI & Co-Founder, AngioWave Imaging — Leading biomedical imaging AI; founding team member.
- 💼 CTPO & Co-Founder, Steatlh — Building bleeding edge AI solution in Stealth Mode.
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.
