His work carried out in the field of Portfolio brings together such families of science as Incentive and Microeconomics.

His research on Microeconomics frequently links to adjacent areas such as Public relations. The concepts of his Financial system study are interwoven with issues in Value, Demand deposit and Capital market. His study in Value is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Private money, Liquidity crisis, Market liquidity, Financial intermediary and Investment.
