Currie-Gregg achieved the rank of colonel in the U.S. Army before retiring in 2005, and she has logged more than 4,000 hours of flight time in a variety of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft.

Her research interests include human factors engineering, automated systems and artificial intelligence. Her expertise in space robotic systems operations has contributed to the development and analysis of human-robotic systems interfaces for advanced space systems, and in 2020, the Cullen College recognized Currie-Gregg’s contributions to the engineering industry with the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award.

Currie-Gregg also serves as a principal engineer in the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC), Director of the Texas A&M Space Institute and an adjunct associate professor at North Carolina State.
