He has been a speaker for TED, was a co-organizer of TEDxAmsterdam, has written over 50 international papers and patents and has won several awards for his work.
Nico Baken holds a cum laude MSc in Mathematics (1981) from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). In 1982, Baken joined the PTT (now Royal KPN) Research Neher Laboratories, researching fiber optics. This work led to the completion of a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). In 1991, Baken started working at PTT Telecom Network Services. Since then, Baken has been a leading figure in many of the strategic and engineering projects that have defined the internet in the Netherlands. While continuing his strategic work at KPN, Baken has worked as Professor in Telecommunications at TU Delft since 2001. He was also appointed professor at three departments at TU/e in 2017.
