André received his doctorate in 1984 from Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI) with thesis advisor Daniel Bertrand and thesis Structure de Hodge, équations différentielles p-adiques, et indépendance algébrique de périodes d'intégrales abéliennes.[1] He became at CNRS in 1985 a Researcher, in 2000 a Research Director 2nd Class, and in 2009 a Research Director 1st Class (at École Normale Supérieure and Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche).[2]

In 1989, he formulated the one-dimensional-subvariety case of what is now known as the André-Oort conjecture on special subvarieties of Shimura varieties.[3] Only partial results have been proven so far; by André himself and by Jonathan Pila in 2009. In 2016, André used Scholze's method of perfectoid spaces to prove Melvin Hochster's direct summand conjecture that any finite extension of a regular commutative ring splits as a module.[4][5]

In 2011 André received the Prix Paul Doistau-Émile Blutet of the Académie des Sciences. In 2015 he was elected to Academia Europaea. He was an Invited Speaker with talk Perfectoid spaces and the homological conjectures at the ICM 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.[6]
