Her teaching philosophy emphasizes bridging the gap between theory and practice by integrating case studies, simulations, and real-world financial applications into the classroom. She strongly believes in discussion-based learning and encourages students to develop critical thinking and analytical skills while nurturing a culture of lifelong learning.

Dr. Tabassum has published widely in Scopus and ABDC-indexed journals, including the Journal of Islamic Marketing, Journal of Accounting & Organizational Change, Finance Research Letters, and Computational Economics.

In addition to her academic contributions, she has actively participated in international conferences across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and India, presenting cutting-edge research on sustainable finance, energy markets, and financial innovations. She has also served as a reviewer for reputed journals and contributed as a resource person in faculty development programs on financial econometrics and R Studio applications.
