Dr. André Stork studied computer science and received his doctoral degree from the Technische Universität Darmstadt in 2000. The topic of his dissertation was "3D interaction and visualization techniques for user centered modelling applications".

In 1992 he received his diploma in computer science. From 1992 to 1994, he worked as a researcher at the Computer Graphics Center (ZGDV e.V.), Darmstadt, in image classification, neuronal networks, image analysis and animation. Since 1994 he has been working in the department for Industrial Applications. First as a researcher and since 2002 as head of the department. His major research interests are geometric modelling and semantic shape processing, 2D/3D interaction and user interface techniques, rendering algorithms, knowledge management and information retrieval, collaboration support and scientific visualization. André Stork has authored and co-authored more than 100 papers in the field of his various interests. He has lectured 'Computer Graphics III' and 'Geometric Methods in CAD/CAE' at the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
