October 2019 in photos by Ruby Wallau October 30, 2019 by Matthew Modoono Share Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Students are reflected upside down in a puddle outside of the Mugar Life Sciences Building. Photo by Ruby Wallau/Northeastern University We traveled to Australia to chronicle the work of a staircase builder, and brought you the story of a student who made her way to Northeastern from Bangladesh. We delved into the problem of how to measure pain, and showcased the many visual pleasures provided by fall foliage. We got networked for life with family and friends, and founded the Institute of Experiential Artificial Intelligence. This and much more, all through the lenses of university photographers Matthew Modoono and Ruby Wallau. Students take a stroll between a swath of black-eyed Susans and the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex, which was recognized as “the single most beautiful building in Boston” in 2018 by the Boston Society of Architects.

Raised in a lower middle class family in Dhaka, Bangladesh, she experienced first-hand the crippling effects of poverty and inequality.

Baja’s two test cars were muddied by a recent series of test drives on an off-road trail in New Hampshire.
