Natalie Wieber is currently a graduate student at Michigan Technological University. She graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor's of Science degree in the Material Science and Engineering department. Natalie worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for two years, on the Binder Jet Printing team at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. Her role as an undergraduate research assistant involved but was not limited to metallography, optical and SEM imaging, hardness testing, porosity analysis, furnace management, and red light laser scanning. In her spare time, Natalie enjoys baking cakes, hiking, and reading historical fiction books.
