The common thread running through Washad’s scholarly activities is a unique interest in Behavioural Economics researching the impact of investors’ behaviours and psychology on the financial market and pricing mechanism. This was the core aspect of Washad’s PhD, “Contributions to Evidence, Analysis and Models of Irrational Behaviour in the Financial Market”.

More recently, his interest has been in the area of Operations Management within micro businesses.
