He is notable for his research in garbage collection, particularly Baker's real-time copying collector, and on the Actor model.
Baker received his B.Sc. (1969), S.M. (1973), E.E. (1973), and Ph.D. (1978) degrees at M.I.T.
The Chicken Scheme compiler was inspired by an innovative design of Baker's.[1]
