Brenda Sue Baker is an American computer scientist known for Baker's technique, a method for designing approximation algorithms on planar graphs, as well as for early work on detecting duplicate code and for research on two-dimensional bin packing problems. She studied at Radcliffe College and earned a Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1973 with a dissertation on automata theory and formal languages under Ronald V. Book. Early in her career she held teaching and research posts at Harvard, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan, and she later worked at Bell Laboratories, where she became a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff.
