Our Team

Bob Currier began his career at Duke University's Marine Lab, as the science engineer onboard the R/V Cape Hatteras. From there he transitioned to LDGO's R/V Robert D. Conrad. That foundation in field oceanography continues to shape his approach three decades later.

Today, Bob is a Data Scientist/Engineer in the Texas A&M University Department of Oceanography, developing AI applications for the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System. His work on AI and maritime data systems has resulted in dozens of peer-reviewed and conference publications, and he has recently presented to NOAA, the Canadian Ocean Observing System, and UNESCO's Ocean Decade program, with an invited keynote at Australia's IMOS annual meeting in 2026.
