During his master research degree, Emad focused on the intersection of the Book of Exodus and the Qur’an, with a particular interest in the Golden Calf Narrative. His doctoral studies focused on the intersection of the Minor Prophets Corpus and the Qur’an, particularly reading the Book of Jonah in the MENA context.
