Joshua Pal.

Building on my background in education, my doctoral research explores how emerging technologies can create lasting change and improve healthcare in Wolverhampton.

My work centres on the people, processes and leadership behind technological change: helping organisations make informed decisions, support their workforce and turn new ways of working into sustainable practical improvements.

Through teaching and programme leadership across Chartered Manager, AI Leadership and Project Management, I help professionals develop the skills to lead change—from identifying opportunities and building stakeholder support to planning implementation and ensuring change is sustainable.

In 2024, I was named Lecturer of the Year for the Faculty of Business, Arts & Social Sciences at the University of Wolverhampton.

I grew up in inner-city Wolverhampton, and my research at New Cross Hospital gives my work a direct connection to the city. For me, this is an opportunity to contribute to the community that I was raised in.
