About Me
I am a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I was also an undergraduate there, earning a BSE, MS, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and a BSE in Electrical Engineering.
Name Pronunciation
The way my family pronounces it, "Michael Gustafson" sounds like "MY-kull GUST-of-sun." Like gust of wind. Without the wind. Apparently the IPA version is /ˈmaɪkəl ˈɡʌstʌvsʌn/. Not sure that helps, really...
Projects
Lots. This whole site, for example... And:
- Keeping PrattWiki:Additions updated so I can remember what I have and haven't done here...
- Semester Updates
- Solutions to the "Chasing Cars" problem
- Where the solution to the quadratic equation comes from
- Animated GIFs, such as:

Signature
I borrowed / stole...well - it's all GFDL so, copied my signature (as of 8/5/06) from a user on Wikipedia with a handle of aeropagitica. Thank You! Here's the code, for the truly bored:

- Edit - I have opted for the standard signature on here, since it takes up so much less room... DukeEgr93 21:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
