Alexandre Laborde is a biomedical engineer and computer vision developer with a BSc in Bioengineering from Universidade da Beira Interior and an MSc in Computer Science from Instituto Superior Técnico.

He currently works as a Computer Vision Developer at NextReality, a technology company specialising in augmented and mixed reality solutions. In this role, he is part of a consortium partnering with the Champalimaud Foundation to develop Breast 4.0 — a surgical assistance system that uses augmented reality to overlay 3D tumour models, derived from MRI and surface scanning data, onto the patient in real time, enabling surgeons to visualise tumour location, size, and shape non-invasively during breast cancer surgery.

Previously, he served as a Research Technician at the Champalimaud Foundation's Vision to Action Lab, led by Principal Investigator Michael Orger, where he developed high-speed tracking algorithms for live zebrafish larvae, built data acquisition pipelines for custom-built microscopes — including two-photon, light-sheet, and SCAPE systems — and created high-performance analysis tools for complex 5D microscopy datasets. His work contributed to published research, including a co-authored framework for modular data acquisition and near real-time analysis.

His research interests span the development of intelligent, real-time computational systems, with a particular focus on computer vision, machine learning, and high-performance software applied to complex domains such as health, robotics, and autonomous systems.
