After studying electrical engineering at the TU Braunschweig, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bäker graduated in the topic "Energy and Information Management" likewise at the TU Braunschweig and in cooperation with the research department of the Volswagen AG in Wolfsburg. Thereafter, he joined the Daimler AG, working on the development of innovative vehicle diagnosis systems for several years. There within, his work was in close relationship with the departments research and development as well as test and completion of the electric/electronic assembly.
His current research topics include innovative approaches of vehicle energy and information management, function oriented vehicle networks and architectures, and new methods for testing and diagnosis of current and future e/e-vehicle systems. Thus, also parts of his work are safety relevant and legislative aspects of future e/e-product documentations and according test methods of driver assistance systems and production suitable product design.
