He earned his BA in 1993 in linguistics from the University of California, Santa Cruz and completed his PhD under the supervision of Alan Prince at Rutgers in 2000 (with the dissertation Harmony, Dominance and Control).
Baković has made contributions to the study of phonology and phonological theory, with a focus on the predictions of Optimality Theory (OT) and the theory of sequentially ordered rules.
