Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGDAndré Stork is head of division at Fraunhofer IGD and professor at Technical University Darmstadt.
He studied computer science and received his doctoral degree from the TU 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.
From 1994 to 2023 he has been working in the department for Interactive Engineering Technologies (former: Industrial Applications), first as a researcher and since 2002 as head of the department. During this period the department conducted 200 R&D projects funded by industry or publicly. The companies span a wide range of market sectors, e.g., automotive, manufacturing, SW vendors, education, etc.
In 2023 he took over the role of head of division coordinating and representing R&D related to the automotive and manufacturing industries as well as the software vendors active in this field.
His major fields of expertise and research interests are geometry modelling and processing, 2D/3D interaction, simulation, and scientific visualization.
André Stork has authored and co-authored more than 200 papers (h-index:25) and published them at various conferences/symposia, e.g. sponsored by IEEE, ACM, Eurographics. He has been a member of the program committee or acted as a reviewer in international conferences, workshops, and journals.
He is member of IEEE, Eurographics, ACM, Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), and VDI.
Since January 2023 he also acts as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications.
