Michael "Gus" Gustafson
Associate Professor of the Practice of Electrical and computer engineering
Dr. Gustafson came to Duke in 1989 and never left. He earned a BSE, MS, and Ph.D. from Duke and had the great good fortune to teach first-year computational methods and other courses. He is now the Director of Undergraduate Studies for ECE and is looking forward to this next adventure at Duke.
What are you most looking forward to as a Faculty Fellow?
Engaging with students in and outside of my academic field.
What advice would you give to current undergraduates?
Take a moment to smell the roses - literally when they are in bloom in Duke Gardens and figuratively at all other times.
What is something you think students should know during their time at Duke?
For the most part, faculty members *really* want you to come to office hours to ask questions. And not just about the specific homework or paper that is coming due, but about, well, anything and everything!
