His research interests include parallel algorithms, parallel production systems,application of parallel computers in artificial intelligence, parallel computational geometry, computational chemistry, and parallel computer models. He has also published in the areas of Banach spaces and general topology. Baker received a B.S. degree in mathematics from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas in 1958, a M.S. and Ph.D. degree in mathematics in 1965 and 1968 respectively, from the University of Texas in Austin. He was an assistant professor at Florida State University before joining the faculty at Kent State University in 1973. He is a member of ACM and the Computer Society of the IEEE.<P><DL ><DT>Recent Research Activities:<DD> <BR><P>A major focus of Baker's recent research has been the development of acomputational model for associative computing and establishingalgorithms and software for this model. The associative model isdesigned to provide a common platform for the development ofappropriate algorithms and software for massively parallel computersin general and an extended version of SIMD computers in particular.Current work is underway to compare this model to other parallelmodels of computation, including the reconfigurable mesh and the meshwith multiple broadcasts. Other current research interests include developing improved constant time algorithms requiring fewer processors for the reconfigurable mesh, embedding and emulating hypercubes on a 3-D mesh architecture, and developing parallel algorithms and improved sequential algorithms that require less memory and running time for modeling organic compounds at the molecular level.<P><DT>Selected Master's Theses:<DD>(over 15 total) <BR><P>Steven Talus, ``Parallel (SIMD) Algorithms for the Zero-One Knapsack Problem'', 1988.<P>Andrew Miller, ``A Parallel Production System'', 1989.<P>Jon Wiebrecht, ``Parallel SIMD Algorithms and Implementations for the Traveling Salesperson Problem and the Assignment Problem'', 1992.<P>Stephen Scott, ``Embedding hypercubes and perfect shuffles into 3-D meshes'', 1992.<P>Maher Atwah, ``Computing the Convex Hull on the Associative Model'', 1993.<P>Mary Esenwein ``String Matching Algorithms for an Associative Computer'', 1995.<P>Paul Durand `` Sequential and associative software to compute the largest common substructure and least common superstructure for pairs or groups of compounds'', (Co-sponsored with Dr. Chung-Che Tsai in the Chemistry Dept.)
